Default Hate Spam? Come inside, help fight it!

http://fightspam.nm.ru/

How this works is the site constantly downloads pictures off the spam servers until they run out of bandwith. You can leave this in the background. This may, or may not slow down your computer. However be advised that you are using your bandwith as well, so if you have a monthly bandwith limit do NOT use it.

I did a search and could not find anything. My apologies in advance if this is a repost ops:

I don't trust ANY site that ends in .ru . Had you seen the shit I have seen you wouldn't trust them either. It is a good idea but I won't even consider it until it's at least a .org .

I wouldn't do that because

1: that's ~ DDOS attack
2: how do you know those are real spam sites they are attacking (yes I know you can go look it up but I can't be arsed to do that - see reason 1 for why)

Point taken. By the way, what is the difference between DDOS and DOS?

DDoS = distributed denial of service (attack) - a group of people trying to knock over a web server for some malicious reason

DOS = Disk Operating System - A very old operating system for pc's..

DoS = denial of service (attack) - one system attacking another in an attempt to crash it/make it unavailable to other users

that is true, .ru are leaders in cracking programs, very closely related to hackin. It is true, even if they are currently attacking spam, the webmaster can have it attack any other place at any given time.
