I've always had a ton of spam but it all gets filtered into junk anyway so I'm fine with that. My spam appears to be from all the same places it usually comes from..

It sounds like the spam is not connected with this site. I also have not had any spam. Working with online advertisement in the past I can tell you when you registered for something recently that website has sold your email along with others probably. Nothing you can do about it now.

Thanks for the answers.

My Gmail account usually only gets one spam email per month (automatically filtered). After this site was spammed, suddenly I get 8-10 spam mails per day from the same source (still filtered).

I was just wondering as I have not posted my email address anywhere else recently and I was just trying to ascertain whether this site was breached or just a coincidence.

Thanks again, all.

Actually yes....

More that the usual "Help me with funds" ones.

Noticed strange I-N-C-R-E-A-S-E -Y-O-U-R- P-E-N-I-S mails

Can't be bothered with that nonsense or I'd be grinding up Tigers and mixing them with Jinjiu.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
