Is it illegal to advertise via spam?

[esmerelda]

If you spam YA, you will get reported, because NOBODY is here on YA to read your crap.

ALL you do is irritate people. I would never buy anything from someone who spams, and more to the point, I'd never click on a spam addy because some spammers are linking to sites full of trojans and other garbage.

In any case, agreeing to TOS is equivalent to signing a legal document, so yes, they could sue you if you persisted.

I report spam every time I see it. It's just a waste of everyone's time.
