Just stumpled upon this:
http://stupidfilter.org/main/index.php

I'm not sure how high on my stupid list this will rate, but above average I
guess :o/

OK, I do see a point in this, and can certainly think of one or two posts
(in other Newsgroups ofcourse) where it could have been handy, but then
again, isn't that what the "Bozo filter/kill binn" is for?

I can see this spreading, leaving most non native Engrish speaking people
out of the communitys, and not teaching newcommers how to communicate
correctly, since no one will see their posts, because they were not
gramattically correct.

Or is it just my anxiety about "Big Brother is Waching", that kicks in here?
:o/

As the saying goes.. "stupid is as stupid does."

Some of the worst cases would be spam emails about increasing the size
of your johnson, barnyard fun, and downright gibberish contained in may
messages.

`Stupid´ for one person isn't `stupid´ for another. What I find most
offensive is when signing off Yahoo email. The flash ads and junglesex
mixer nonsense of loan and credit cards was so bad, that I went and
registered: http://www.superadblocker.com/product_superadblocker.html

There's still more to be done in this area tho.

Well this is not a E-Mail filter, but intended for Usenet/Newsgroups, and
other discussion/debate forums, like this one :o/

Eaven if we do get to see the occasional spammer, troll, etc., I would still
hate to have others deciding for me, who gets to post, and who doesn't, or
is that because we are a litle spoiled in here, and in the other NG's I
attend, that I don't see those nobrainers, as a problem?

There is indeed, but as long as someone can make a buck or two, there will
be Spam, adds, and Jehovas Vitneses.
