How would you see it happen? HTTP forms can require certain information, and if bombing isn't totally impossible, captcha still can help greatly.
This thread is about Support and not Abuse, but both would be similar for big operators. I believe that if you complain by email, your email will be parsed to enter a ticketing tool anyway, as the web form would have done. -- Benjamin -----Original Message----- From: mailop [mailto:mailop-boun...@mailop.org] On Behalf Of Philip Paeps Sent: Wednesday, 14 February, 2018 02:49 To: mailop@mailop.org Subject: Re: [mailop] Yahoo Support Page On 2018-02-13 15:07:33 (+0100), David Hofstee wrote: >Ok...

I really wish people would stop putting their abuse desks (etc) behind web forms. The abuse came in via email. Let us complain about it via email please. The "everything over HTTP" culture is getting out of hand.
