Following my previous post about spammers using TinyURL.com service to spread their spam ads, I’ve received an e-mail reply from Kevin Gilbertson.

He recommends people to forward the spam emails to [email protected] , complete with header so that they can investigate abuse and terminate TinyURLs that are used in spam.

Personally, I think that TinyURL.com registration procedure is too lenient, encouraging spammers to use their services to spread spams. Until TinyURL.com impose a strict registration procedure (like putting captcha, discourage robot/automated registration ) I guess we could flood [email protected] with spammers url that abuses TinyURL service, just to send them a clear message.
