Why can't we spam the spammers - eviltoast

I have an idea. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. Let me know what you guys think.

I think when someone posts “clone credit cards HMU for my telegram I know you’re just here sitting here waiting like gee I wish someone would post me criminal scammy get rich quick schemes, I can’t want to have a felony on my record” type spam, there should be a bot the mods can activate that will start sending messages to the person’s telegram or whatever, pretending to be interested in cloned credit cards.

It wouldn’t be that hard to make one that would send a little “probe” message to make sure it was a for-real scammer, and then if they respond positively, then absolutely flood them with thousands of interested responses. Make it more or less impossible for them to sort the genuine responses from the counter-spam, waste their time, make it not worth their while to come and fuck up our community. And if they lose their temper it can save some of the messages and post them to some sort of wall of victory.

What do people think?

    there are youtubers who fight back against scammers, some who have been doing so for years. some of the best ones are also hackers, and have managed, through not only their own work, but with assistance from others, and over time and working with local authorities in India, have actually managed to take down more than a few scam centers. problem is, when you take one down, 5 more pop up.

    still, they fight on
