Given the community permeating behavior of tradehill users,
I now call for a boycott of Tradehill and it's referral practices as they are the root cause for all this behavior.
At the point where you intrude into other people's privacy something has to be done.
I now actively discourage use of a system that breeds abusers and misusers of both the forum and the emailing system.
Also,
since Tradehill is not actively reacting to this and prosecuting abusers and disabling the account of abusers, they are showing silent consent to this spamming behavior.

Hi,
some spamming idiot has sent not one but two emails begging for signup at Tradehill, including of course cunningly his referall alongside to everyone in the MtGox database.
All of this referall begging is nothing other than overall fraudulent behavior and it makes me f*cking sick to begin with. We already had every other forum user use begging BTC addresses in their signature, now it's turned into TH referall begging / cheating.
Threads pop up with the sole purpose of either begging for BTC or referrals.
People need to be put in their place and realize that spamming is not a nice nor allowable thing. Ironically the guy who spammed the 60.000+ email addresses TWICE called himself a BTC supporter.
I have two emails both telling me
"As a Bitcoin supporter I'm now sending a message to every email address contained in the hacked database."
which I already knew 2 hours earlier, when MtGox itself sent the official warning. Then a subtle link to Tradehill with the above mentioned referral TH-R15683.
Dude, you are just as bad as people who a) stole the MtGox data b) DDOS pools.
You are wasting other people's traffic and trying to benefit from misery by sucking in referrals!
May bad karma get you.

Putting this in the trading forum because this is also where all the TH related stuff keeps popping up.
