I was just wondering if this site geeks to go is willing to help fight the numerous spam bots that collect email addresses from websites to send their spam messages to.

Read the below quote taken from http://www.auditmypc...n/antispam.html

Anti spam fights spam bots

The purpose of this page is to make it so spammers who attempt to collect email addresses off the web, via programs, will not have real email addresses in their database. Anti-Spam causes problems because they will have to clean out their list. It also makes their database worthless for reselling purposes because the company purchasing their spam database will have worthless email address.
How ANTI-SPAM works

This page has fifty randomly generated email addresses (refresh and new ones will appear). At the bottom of the page is a link to this page again, essentially reloading it for programs to collect more fake email addresses. Email collecting programs (spam bots) will be sent into an infinite loop by following the link at the bottom of the page and will get more and more fake email addresses stuck in their databases.

Spam is the electronic world's biggest problem. A fool proof method of filtering out spam does not yet exist, but we don't have to sit back and take it. Anti-Spam pages like this one make spamming less profitable and is our way to help FIGHT SPAM.
Help out and join the fight again Spam!

Want to help with the Anti-Spam effort? When a spammer's program visits your web page, they will check all the pages that you link to for email addresses. So, all you have to do is link to this page and whenever a spammer's program scans your page, they will be sucked into this one. To link to this page use this simple code:

<a href="http://www.auditmypc.com/freescan/antispam.html" target="_blank">
Anti Spam</a>

A litle gift for SPAM bots

Everything below is for spammer's and their SPAM bots, it's called Antispam and we hope they take it all in!

Anti Spam can make a difference in the fight against spam!



----------------------------


The last line also has a link to reload the page so the bots reload and since there are new random email addresses they get stuck in an infinite loop collecting fake email addresses.
So if the admin can put the small code in the footer i guess it will really help spam bots :whistling:
