In 2005, two scientists, David Mazières and Eddie Kohler, wrote a paper titled Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List and submitted it to WMSCI 2005 (the 9th World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics), in protest of the conference's notoriety for its spamming and lax standards for paper acceptance.[1] The paper consisted essentially only of the sentence "Get me off your fucking mailing list" repeated many times.[2]
In 2014, after receiving a spam email from the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology, Peter Vamplew forwarded Mazières' and Kohler's old paper as an acerbic response.[3] To Vamplew's surprise, the paper was reviewed, rated as "excellent" by the journal's peer-review process and accepted for publication.[3][4] The paper was not actually published as Vamplew declined to pay the required US$150 article processing charge.[3] This case has led commenters to question the legitimacy of the journal as an authentic scholarly undertaking.[5][6][4][3]
