Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage registration spam?parent

You are way too nice. Sometimes I sign up with fuck@off.com, address is 666 nunya business street, anonymousville, united states of handsoffmydata. If I can get their CEOs details or whatever, I sign up with that. Same for newsletter popups.

If they force an email verification, 9/10 times I just leave. For the 1/10 times I'll give a pseudonymous email, and if the service then proves to be useful I /might/ give more info. Usually if I'm actually buying something.

I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this
