Asking politely doesn't take too much effort either..



Spam filter, better junk mail settings, or a new email.

Spam emails is just something that happens these days.
Delete, block, and report without opening the email is what I usually do when they crop up out of the junk folder.

It's unfortunately comparatively easy to fake the sender of email addresses, at least as far as I know. So basically getting spam from your own provider (or even your own email address...) doesn't have to mean much (if anything).

It is. It's generally quite easy, google 'fake mailer' and they'res lots of sites where you can do one yourself.

This kind of post is why the TT-Forums should get a Like button.

At a risk of derailing the thread (didn't have much of a direction anyway), I'm not too fond of places with a like button, but no dislike button.

My ideal place would only have a dislike button, no like button. Not sure why nobody thought of that yet.

If you can get the header of the message, then you can find the domain it is coming from and try to block it

To be honest TRUMP TRUMP, give me money PEASANTS... Your profile isnt exactly inciting me to offer any assistance.

Especially with how rude you've been about it.

I haven't noticed that in the signature till you mentioned it. Well spotted!

Awesometrains, please adjust your signature and profile details. It's rather immature and inappropriate.


Hopefully you also have your answers to the assumed question for this topic too.

Well , the signature is supposed to be quoting a person/company that is very immature.
However , the "TRUMP TRUMP" was part of an April Fools Joke.

One funny thing about your signature is that seems like the truck box is missing at least one back axle...

Oh... And you asking money from the dirty peasants, looks fair that some people are trying to get some money from you, via e-mail.

Well, create another mail account, mangle you e-mail when posting it somewhere (like p e a s a n t (arroba) t e r r a (dot) c o m (dot) b r), so it will be a bit harder for spam bots to get it. And, mainly, create YET ANOTHER account like "comercialpeasant@mail.ru" and use it for like... EVERY site you create an account just to get the content of that damn spoiler only to never come back later. I'm doing it and... Hell... I'm still receiving some spam. But it's a lot less than I usually did.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes...

Although there's nothing done, I have some projects:
São Paulo TrainSet (+Subway) | Brazil Cargo TrainSet (1% done)

Projects in hiatus. Working in something else.

I know that my English is a rubbish, sorry for that. If you find any error, please report me.
