@ hotdoge3 & HappyPerson...

i agree about the spam email, however, this thread is referring to the forum spammers that have been frequenting GOTD...

there is now a sticky where the forum spammers info is posted (the link is the same as the one in the first post by graylox):
"WOT Reputation Scorecard - The Answer For Spammers"
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6931

anyone that chooses to report them is able to do so by going directly to WOT instead of visiting the site...

thank you, graylox, for maintaining the sticky...

The Answer For Spammers don't pay for it, Don't click Email & buy it that's way you get Spam.

I have to say that ever since WR was talking about it (seems like a few years back) I got really interested in WOT and find that it is in the top things I tell people to get on their computer. It is one of those tools that is a no brainer to have or should have! I hope that the people just getting it find it as wonderful as I do! BTW I will be sure to give them what they deserve graylox!

Best Regards,
ibwebb

When you are using Firefox you can install the WOT add-on
WOT - Safe Browsing Tool 20091028

Web of Trust is one of Mozilla’s most popular add-ons. Our community-based safe surfing tool uses a traffic-light style rating system to help you stay safe when you search, browse and shop online. The WOT add-on provides reputation ratings to search results when you use Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Wikipedia and other popular sites, helping you protect your computer and personal information. Your online email account – Google Mail, Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail is also protected. Website ratings are continuously updated by millions of members of the WOT community and from trusted sources, like Panda Security and PhishTank. WOT is one of Mozilla’s most popular add-ons because it really works. WOT has been recommended by CNET, PC World, Kim Komando, Tech Republic, PC Welt and many other respected authorities. Download WOT for your browser today and surf safer! Thank you!

As I have just learnt, even IE friends can use it:
IE addon

After installation you'll find in the context menu of your browser "View WOT scorecard", just click it when you point to a link, and you'll come directly to the scorecard, no need to go to the spammer's site first or google for the site. It's soooo easy :)
(I think it's the same in IE)

Thanks to Leofelix and Chip, here is the add-on for Google Chrome:

WOT for Google Chrome 4.0

Hi, friends and neighbours,
some of you may have seen that we were flooded by spammers.

Please give them what they deserve - a bad WOT rating.
