MeFi is not for Spam? October 30, 2008 12:22 AM   Subscribe

Not cool - using your MeFi account to harvest email addresses of people who you disagree with, so you can sign them up to mailing lists? That's gotta be out of order, right?

(in the event the post goes away:

Just a note that there's someone hiding behind the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx who is putting people's email addresses on spam farms associated with hate groups. So if you have your email address in your profile, I suggest removing it.

I'm not sure I'm reading your post right so could you please clarify; are you suggesting that Blazecock Pileon is that MeFite, or is suggesting that that is what people do? Because if so, I don't think that's what he's doing. I think he's warning people someone is doing it.

If you're simply decrying the practice of someone using their MeFi account to harvest e-mail addresses however, then yes, I do agree that that is not cool.

The IP address in question is a proxy server (www.freeproxyserver.net), so it won't be all that easy for the admins to identify the account held by the culprit.

No, I'm not suggesting Blazecock is the culprit. Sorry if that's unclear.
posted by rodgerd at 1:15 AM on October 30, 2008


This could happen at any time, and it's impossible to tell who might be doing it due to the shared IP - so......I guess the message of the day is don't list your email address on teh internets? Ok, done.

One man's "hate group" is another man's "appalled at judicial activism" group. The KKK, for instance, exists mostly to protest judicial activism that forbids them from burning crosses. And so-called "anti-abortion" groups are, in fact, simply mobilized by the egregious judicial activism that made it illegal for them to shoot doctors.

I was thinking of starting a MT thread on this same post to talk about the actual ramifications of the question. I figured it would make more sense to do that here than in the thread, but I don't know that there should be a second MT post on the same AMF post.

Basically, a big part of me doesn't understand why we've had the rash of "zomg concentration camp" answers to anyone who might support McCain/Palin, prop 8, or whatever (not that I support either of these groups), but I want to actually see an intelligent dialogue on the topic.

I read someone's insightful post that prop8 is like a modern jimcrow law, and I kind of realized it's right-ish. I'm really trying to wrap my mind around the classification of groups as minorities and whether or not they need special protections or whether that just makes them more outcast, or if they're even outcast at all.

So...can we have that derail here or should I start a new thread? Really I just want to see non-radical viewpoints on either end and educate myself about the fear both sides seem to harbor.

What special protections are you talking about? Along with "judicial activism," the phrase "special protections" is one of the bugaboos of the right. Demanding equal rights is not the same thing as requesting special protection.
posted by Astro Zombie at 6:21 AM on October 30, 2008 [5 favorites]


There isn't anything "special" about granting rights to a group that everyone else already has. It isn't "special" to broaden rights. Prop 8 is asking that straight people get "special" rights - the right for their relationships to be legally recognized by the government, and that that right be denied to anyone not in a heterosexual relationship (and who wants to get married).

It's going to be pretty much impossible for us to know (a) if someone is actually doing this and (b) who it is, without some sort of major tell. In principle, this sort of thing could be going on constantly, but it practice it doesn't seem to have happened basically ever. We have had a couple instances where a specific user collected some email to mail to directly (the benign but renowned Wendell Incident, one or two My Marketings, Let Me Show You Them spammers who wrote to two or five folks who answered an askme), but even that is really damned rare.

Which is to say that if it is happening, to anyone, I think that sucks; and, of course, if you want to be absolutely bulletproof from this sort of thing, use a throwaway account or list no email at all in your profile; but I don't believe it's practically much of an issue, and without some sort of larger scale verification it's probably pushing it to presume it has happened in this case. That BP got an email makes it more plausible that it has happened to him, and that sucks itself, but even at that we're kind of stuck here guessing at coincidence-or-not.

Needless to say, if we did find out someone on the site was doing this, that'd be grounds for a hard and permanent ban.

Can mods see when someone accesses a user page? I'd think anybody who accesses more than ten or twenty user pages in a short time has less than honorable intentions. Especially if they're also a new member....

AstroZombie--you're right, absolutely right. I didn't phrase myself correctly, and I wasn't even necessarily talking about gay-rights-to-marraige when I said special protections. Ignore that point for now. Equal rights are equal rights are equal rights, and I believe that fully. Working with families is what I do, and I'd much rather see kids go to someone who loved them than someone who gets wasted and flicks cigarettes at them.

What I really wanted discourse on was the flagrancy of violent language popping up in some of these threads recently.

I guess my overall viewpoint is that fewer laws are better laws, and that we shouldn't define marraige or family or identify any group as a Legal Group (heterosexuals, even as a "family" or whatever) and treat everyone like the same basket of motherfuckers. Does that put me in harmony with the general opinion here?

Is linking to email harvester sites okay?

I have concerns that the subject of this post is very probably the work of an email harvester, and that the post should probably be removed for that reason. It seems a bit irresponsible to link to an email address harvesting scam, even if it looks friendly.

The reason I have those concerns is that I had my email address in my MeFi profile until a similar post was used to send "anonymous" email to my account, after which I saw an uptick in the spam I received. It was disappointing to have to do that in response to the malicious behavior of one person.

I am curious what the community thinks, but, largely, I am hoping also that others would think twice before putting anyone else's email address into that link's form.

There's more than one way to figure out that someone has been adding your email address, and that's to construct a unique email address composed of slight variations and see how it spreads. You don't need server logs to figure it out that way. I use this technique all the time.

The Metafilter community might promote openness and transparency with user accounts, but there seem to be bad apple(s) who like to abuse that display of trust.

I really hope no one else got hit by this, and given the bad behavior displayed so far, and seemingly no other real solution in sight, I'd encourage others to remove their personal information from their profiles.

Random people have been doing this to me for years. I used to keep my email address in plaintext in the "about" part on my profile, but I don't any more. I've been signed up for everything from Focus on the Family lists to support group lists focused on rare or embarrassing diseases.

The thing that identifies these subscriptions from the normal noise of spam is that most of them are opt-in, requiring a confirmation link, and they almost always arrive in a flurry right after I've had an argument with someone, or made some possibly controversial statement.

Personally I think it's pretty amusing. Such a small, petty way to lash out. Surely the domain of someone who desperately wishes they were smart enough to actually hack your computer or something dramatic like that, but the only things they can really manage are small, pestering annoyances like this.

Meanwhile all of these lists are helping me train Gmail's spam filter to recognize right wing/fundamentalist Christian propaganda as spam. Thanks!

Never yet had a pleading letter from the widow of the late Minister of Finance in Lesotho, or offers to increase the size of my p'eni"s.

Somehow, I have never had a telemarketer call, either.

I can only assume that when I was an infant and the good fairies gathered round my crib blessing me with wit, grace, humour and striking good looks, they threw this in as a bonus.

a two-fold taint/sensing system

I'm imagining that being something else entirely.
