Good morning,

I notice a lot of spam posting on various forums that I look at and I have looked at a number of sites that aim to address this problem.

As far as I can see the anti spam sites list IP addresses and usernames of spammers and none of them list the businesses that are being promoted.

As I can’t find such a site, I thought about setting up one on the basis that if a Google/Yahoo etc search result that brings up this new site might create a negative view of the business that is promoting itself this way. On the other hand it would be a link to that business.

Then I came to the conclusion that people able to post to this site would need to be very restricted to stop fake posting so the database would never grow.

Then I thought what about if each website/forum owner created their own page that lists these sites, as we would be the only person able to post to our own list then we would know that our list is correct.

I would be happy to GPL a simple ASP.Net system to do this which anyone could add to their site.

Bye

Ian

Why does anyone need more than an 80x25 character only VDU?
