I had previously complained about the Battlecats (A CT local band) refusing to remove me from their mailing list. I thought their initial response of 'no' was kind of funny.

Until I realized they didn't remove me. This is the most recent thread:

My amusement has run dry.

They are in direct violation of Yahoo's Spam and abuse Policy (Item 7).

I just filed out a complaint against them using Yahoo's system. This is the contents of my complaint:

1I had originally signed up for this user's mailing list (A band-related e-mail) a while ago. They have refused to remove me after repeated requests, which is a violation of item 7 of Yahoo's Spam and Abuse policy. The previous message body [the message body comes before this comment on the yahoo form] is the most recent e-mail I recieved from them. Following it is the full thread where I asked to be removed from the list and they refused.

I have marked the Battlecats as spam in my spam filter program.

Unfortunately, I do not expect Yahoo to do anything about it.
