I stand on the side of the spam button in gmail.

If confirmed, a story like this make never upvote an official post from dev.to in the future, and make me less prone to upvote stories hosted in dev.to .

(I have 3 or 4 site in my personal list of never upvote.)

(And if there is a repeated abuse, the mods make get mad and ban the site.)

I only posted it here because I give dev.to the benefit of doubt. My guess is that the listing is a new business inside the community (has pricing) and they were experimenting

(I'm fine with a second chance. It depends if they repeat this next month, if they apology, ...)

Got me curious, why?

edit: btw, I did not post a job, but got spam to post job on their platform. If at least it was related to what I wanted, looks like they just wanted to mass mail.

Care to explain why? The scrapers in this case clearly violated HN's terms of contacting those who posted their email addresses.
