Poll Results: Is Spam Becoming A Problem?

Well after a 10 day period, I decided to end the Poll which asked the question, How Much SPAM do you receive. I opened the voting at 0-10 SPAM emails per day, however at the end of the poll I was shocked to see that 29% of the 28 voters we had received more than 50 SPAM emails per day.
Although at the same time 50% or 14 voters receive between 0-10 SPAM emails per day.

But there are some voters in between, so I will have to make a conclusion that spamming is becoming more and more of a problem for us entrepreneurs. I regularly enter my email address to signup for forums and various other things, so maybe this is not such a smart decision. I never realised how destructive spamming can be. I have only experienced a huge amount of spam comments on my .blogspot.com blog, but this was never really a major problem.

The only way the business world can combat Spammers is to not reply to them. By ignoring the emails, the horrible people and “bots” that spam us daily will realise that it is not worth their while, as they will not be seeing any results of their wrongdoings.

Thanks for everyone who voted and you will see that I have put up another competition which I will discuss later!
