    Hello Andrew,

    I don?t understand exactly how you mean it, but you might understand that SINTECH is a mail order company and I don?t want to risk that I don?t get some e-mails from serious customer just because somebody is spamming me. Of course all e-mails are redirected to one e-mail, so this is why I get all his messages on one mail server and this is not only my problem. Nearly all other German users I know have the same problem with him...and none of them is even a SAM User. He should just stop it and I am asking this community to find a way to stop him. If there is no way to talk to him, I would suggest to call the police and my question is also "Will be police do something about?"

    I have surely the possibility here to fight on court. But I am still sure that there should be a better way to deal with it than only to let the lawyers speak.

    However, if in worsest case we have to bring him to court, does somebody have his real adress?

    Regards

    Thomas

    I used to manage my own exchange server, and it was no end of headaches. I switched to use google apps to manage my domain email (free) and it was/is awesome. The spam filter is absolutely excellent.

    It also means that I don't have to worry about missing emails if hiivebooks.com is down.

    He does seem to have a lot of hardware issues:

    I proceeded to flash the graphics
    card bios onto the main board bios chip and then found the computer
    completely unusable
    no customer service even after i travelled over land from the united
    kingdom to the micro star international head quarters in taipei in
    taiwan - after having collaresd a sales rep for the company at the
    dubai computer show
    it took me a year to get from the uk to taiwan

    Blimey :eek:

    (In reply to Frobush)
    maximum port dspeed oh dear only 115kbps isnt that ⅓ of the itu t v44 320kbps so do i need a hi speed serial in terface and four v92 itu t v44 modems and four fone lines to upload at roughly 1.2mbps - text only?

    So, this 300 quid a month he's paying BT, is it because he's on dial-up 24 hours a day?!? He doesn't appear to know what broadband is.

    Anybody heard of John Titor?

    That's a heavy link - but google him. Fascinating stuff.

    anyone get the dma to do this please velesoft mb-02+? text using colour palette cycle !proportional !mode 3 !interlaced category science and bugged technology camtasia studio only ?42 per minute[...]

    He gets replys too, though not for this one!

    So.

    Who are we going to nominate to subscribe to his YouTube channel?
  • edited January 2010
    Heh, when you go to his YouTube profile, in last activities it shows he has recently rated a lot of videos with 1 star. Maybe he also voted down all other Speccy games on WOS in favour of that controversial non-domestic title? Okay, that's enough conspiracy theories from me for now.
  • edited January 2010
    So now more people get a clue what he is doing. There are guys like VELESOFT who do so much for the Spectrum, inventing new interfaces and software all the time. We are lucky for this guy and I hope a lot of Spectrum users are happy for SINTECH as a supplier for Spectrum stuff as well. And now we are spammed by this guy. Maybe VELESOFT will get thick of it and close his activities because of guys like this. LCD will close the last magazine we have, or Mirko the last disk-magazine... most of the guys spend their freetime for the Spectrum. If somebody like Roger spams them even with not understandable texts, it steals too much time. Some people tried to discuss with him, but all now understand that it is impossible.

    We earn money at Sintech, but surely not with the Spectrum stuff. We do it because we love the Spectrum. If we get spammed for it, we might stop it as well. However, I won?t do that, Spectrum is a big part of my life, but really I get thick of Roger Jowetts mails...

    So, Thomas, do you want me to program The Final Strike 4 (the penultimate edition) in his name to tarnish his reputation in the spectrum scene forever? I'd do that.

    The guy doesn't seem to be "all there" so wouldn't it be a crude thing to mock him?

    We mock you, don't we?

    Over the past 18 months or so, there's been one individual (don't worry, I don't think he posts here, he has a very *ahem* "distinctive" writing style) who has been sending me social network invites from every social network under the sun to every email address associated with me. A few weeks ago I sent him a polite email asking him to stop and he was very apologetic, but today I came home to ten Twitter invites!

    Has anyone else had this "joy" or am I the lucky single target of this deranged guy's affections?

    I hope the very blunt email I just sent him puts him off me.

    when twitter sends the invites the message it displays clearly onscreen is ERROR
    i assumed that it therefore had not sent the invites
    furthermore if any social networking sites allows you to repeatedly send invites to teh same people isnt there a bigger issue here?
    isnt this a bit like trying to format or layout a website onscreen when you havent a clue what the screen resoltuion is or the font size
    wouldnt you be better off designing a drop down menu that is
    1 not only smaller than the full size of the screen but
    2 doesnt put options ontop of other options so that when selected the drop down menu dissappears allowing you to select what was underneath by mistake
    please help im trying to use retro x to convert avi video from pc to sam coupe
    it is already saved at 256x192 after using debut to capture it from the fullscreen playback of windows media player classic set to 320x200
    anyone worked out interlaced video on sam? do we need dma?

    What is wrong with you ? You constantly go on about this Sam Coupe hardware issue. Weird

    That was a very strange reply, one minute he's explaining his actions then the next he's asking for help on a Coupe issue. Odd.

    Jowspam! - I'm sick to death of getting twitter invits and other emails from this guy.

    His computer must be used by some kind of spam mail bot.

    No the issue is with you, repeatedly harrasing people. You have been asked to stop, please do so.

    Is Jowlet a hacker with poor engrish, reeling you in to think he is a fan boy, but actually his motives are more sinister?

    Reading Jowlets posts it looks like they were written by a poor AI algorithm rather than an actual person?

    I was told he has a quite severe case of autism, would explain his bizarre posts and behaviour. But then again its the net, you dont know whats true or not.

    BUT even so, i'm sorry but its frustrating as hell to get his crap (even when i'm not on facebook or have made my email address public !).

    His rants are ridiculous though, since i contacted Yahoo though i havent had another one, hoping they'll cut off his email account.

    But his rant often starts off as some crap about its okay for him to send crap to people via social networking sites, but then he goes off on one about video and the sam coupe. Getting 60 attachments makes me nervous but my virus checker seems to say theyre all harmless.

    It's not a program. He's now expanded into putting videos onto YouTube, and whilst the videos are new and on-topic, the descriptions ramble on into Jowlspeak.
