How do you know it was spam, and not someone abusing information you made publicly available? You don't. Would you complain here if you were signed up to any other e-mail based periodical / service without your knowledge? For some reason, I doubt it.

If you received more than one e-mail from there, then you could have helped by sending an e-mail back and saying that someone had been using your e-mail. That site has been attacked nearly daily for quite some time by someone registering accounts, it would be helpful to know if they had registered accounts using e-mails of multiple users here that have them publicly listed. For both sites.

People get signed up to services as pranks by others quite frequently. Whose fault is it that those e-mails were sent? The service providers? Or the person that thought it would be funny to sign someone else up to said services?

What the man said. ^_~

It's helpful to know that someone has been doing this, but now we know. Any further concerns should be directed to the maintainers of that site, so they can help you take care of it.

I think registering people without their consent is fruadulent and desparate attempt to increase membership statistics that no reputable site would engage in.

I agree, MrMark. I don't believe that's what's going on here, but if that is the case, it wasn't right to do by any means.

Aren't our emails invisible unless we choose to post them?

Hmm... to me it seems like anybody who wants your email address for a bad purpose is going to circumvent these measures and get it anyhow.
