I'm sorry if you took it personally
with "you" I didn'y mean you as Paul, I meant users in general.
Of course, reading on, you (Paul) say you have no idea what larting is or
means, and that you (Paul) need every bit of assistance. This is exactly the
point on the "Click-click-click and not pay attention anymore" it's not an
accusation, not to be offended by my words.
Fighting spam is not easy, and can backfire depending on who you hit with
the LART (mailbomb, joe-job)
if you fight spam you have to know who you send the reports to. IOW is the
ISP I'll send my lart to, responsible or is it an innocent bystander?
My (to stop using the you and your) ISP might be a spam-friendly house, and
with your suggestion I would not lart them because I marked them innocent.
LART = Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool. It can be used as a noun (in
which case it's something that hopefully causes the victim to
re-evaluate their opinions by means of a short sharp shock) or a verb
(in which case it means to apply a short sharp shock). Most often used
as a euphemism for sending complaints to an ISP, as in "I've just
LART-ed that spammer".
One example of a Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool is a mallet (a hammer
with a big wooden head), which is metaphorically used on a spammer's
genitals when his account is cancelled. In male spammers the result of
this manner of LART-ing is sometimes described as "testicular
malletosis".
Another example is a "clue-by-four"; a large wooden board (or baseball
bat) with which spammers (or just those in urgent need of re-education)
are metaphorically whacked.
