Excellent.
Pray they take the hint, that they and their crap are not welcome here.

Separation from mandate and worker.
It's the same reason bad managerial decisions are often made: the management can't possibly oversee all those workers, and they aren't, themselves, on the floor (or if they are, they can watch even fewer).
It doesn't matter where the spam goes, so long as it goes for the worker, ergo the worker just, well, throws it out there, against any system they know.
Management doesn't care - or more accurately can't grasp the details.
Workers get paid.
Heck, even activity including deleting that kind of spam might eventually work... after all, they're just throwing out all those tempting offers, and what if one person actually calls, and they finally manage to sucker a single employee from their rivals into losing all their dough and/or personal information, including, possibly, information that allows access to others' information, and so on...
In any event, they don't "take the hint" because, for them, there's no such thing as bad publicity: even the act of removing their publicity could be publicity.
And/or said worker actually has some grasp of what's going on and has (something of) a conscience. It then becomes a simple matter of math: he gets paid, no one gets hurt, someone else is forced to do work, but, you know, hey, so is he, and he's trying to feed his family, so what right to they have to complain, y'know?
Anyway, it's sad. Something needs to be done. But... it's unlikely to be easily finished this way. That doesn't mean it's not worth doing, though.
Many, many thanks to Lisa, Lissa, et. al. for keeping this place nice. The spam really does trash the place up.

I want to be clear: I wasn't trying to give a definitive explanation of "this is why" with this post, though it certainly comes off that way! Dang it, Text! Represent what I mean! >:(
(:D)
Mostly I was trying to give a guess based off of what I've seen of bosses and workers in action in other fields.

Should do. I used to make a living off Warhammer, and one of the few things I still retain (other than lots of models) are the books, so I have both omnibus' and the three latest novels sitting on my shelf.

I was happy when I didn't see this thread with anything new in it for a couple days. Sadly...here's one and another.
