MonkeyBrains will not tolerate spammers. Read the AUP if you are a spammer.
E-mail spam:
Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) is considered
spam. Different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) define E-mail spam
differently (for example, 25 pieces of junk mail in 24 hours).
A large chunk of the junk e-mail sent out uses e-mail addresses
harvested from the World-Wide Web (WWW), Usenet, Internet Relay
Chat (IRC), or CD-ROMs with e-mail addresses.
For more details, check out the duly responsible E-mail Spam FAQ.

The Usenet is different from e-mail (a fact apparently lost on Ziff-Davis' ZDNet news reporters). The definition of "too many posts"
to Usenet is very precise, and is outlined in detail at the duly-responsible Spam Thresholds
page on spam.abuse.net. See also the duly responsible Net-Abuse
FAQ for more details.
