Topic for Discussion - The Spam Effect
I've been thinking about spam lately. It probably has to do with me clearing off about 60 comments a day to this blog advertising online poker. (Poker? Sheesh... at least if they were advertising porn sites we'd have considered keeping them on as being marginally relevant to our discussions here. It's called targeted marketing, people! But I digress.)
I wonder if spammers are giving the rest of the porn industry a bad name. While adult content is largely at the discretion of the viewer, spam is sent direct to the inbox of someone who may not want to see its contents, and the recipient often has little or no recourse.
As developers of adult content, we can at least promise not to spam our customers (or worse, "potential" customers) with unasked-for NSFW screenshots or the like.
Is there anything else we can do to separate ourselves from spammers in the minds of the public, some way of drilling into the public consciousness that there are "good" and "bad" adult content providers, and that everyone on this list is on the Light Side of the Force?
