Harassing other users is considered abuse, and sending chain letters is a form of harassing other users. However, it's not a very serious form of abuse. If I found conclusive evidence that someone were sending something like childporn through my remailer, I would take some pretty drastic actions.

Interesting. I wonder what those drastic actions would be? People sending serious death threats and the like through anon remailers should be aware that those actions are considered seriously anti-social and may cause them some problems. But I don't view "kiddie porn" the same way. Its very definition is VERY ill-defined, and there is widespread disagreement on how much of an evil threat to truth, justice, and the American Way it really poses. This makes me start to think that borderline policies like this should be well publicized by the operator of the remailer. I don't support the kiddie porn witch hunt going on in the U.S. currently, and would not have assumed that posting what many people consider to be harmless photos of kids under 18 would get someone automatically turned in to the cops. (Again, keep in mind that the definition is very fuzzy. Some people who have been busted as kiddie pornographers have been busted for extremely mild and un-pornographic material that no reasonable person would consider harmful.) .....Cindy
