I did what you can do about this. I'm not going to debate the rule.
It's worked for 7 years. Most spammers know they're spamming. All
you have to do is check their email selection. 100% of the time it's
set to no email. They came for one reason. Most have the common
sense to just leave when they're told they'll lose their yahoo
account with 1 spam. Others that aren't really into spamming for
cash will see if they can get away with it. They can't if I find it.
Sometimes I miss the spam. But I also visit the group, and if there
is a spam anywhere That I missed,then they get tossed.
How many yahoo groups do you belong to, or for that matter, how many
things do you access on the web that requires your yahoo account
name and password ? Think about losing access to all that, and then
having to recreate a NEW identity and rejoin all those places yahoo
just zappped you from.
Thats what happens to stupid spammers.
If you have to ask if it's spam or not, then you shouldn't be
posting it here.
As for that link being pat related, that's just more crap.
