SpamPSN is a ridiculous harassment service that attacks PlayStation players with spam

SpamPSN will send 25 identical messages every three minutes to the player of its user’s choice. That’s the current trend that’s plaguing PlayStation gamers.

The service is supposedly geared towards friends spamming friends, but anonymous users have been using it to hit streamers on Twitch. Kotaku did up a report about exactly that.

Listen, there’s an easy way to stop this nonsense. SpamPSN once offered a “blacklist” to users who don’t want spam. Just hand them $1 and they’d make it so you’d never be spammed again by their service. I’m pretty sure that’s what the mafia does, but whatever. They currently don’t offer that service, citing legality.

For legal reasons, the blacklist will no longer be available. We will also moderate and prohibit access to our site to bad behavior.
