Completing nomination for 109.176.196.50: No evidence that this is a popular or notable thing to do, ref is nothing to do with "E-mail jamming". I can confirm this: there don't seem to be any sources out there that use the term in this sense. Hut 8.5 16:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a quasi-neologism. BBC News piece in article does not mention subject, and as the nominator mentions, does not describe anything in the article. This completely unreliable source is the only place I can find mention of this topic, and no books on activism or politics seem to mention this practice. Is this concept called something else, perhaps? I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 18:23, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - this sounds like a combination of spamming, hacking, and denial of service attack. Bearian (talk) 18:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete with a possible merge of any useful contents to Emacs. The Emacs editor has had a "mail amusements" function "M-x spook" for years, which would automatically insert loaded words to a message being composed, with the intention described above. I don't believe this was ever referred to as "email jamming", however.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 22:39, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as above. Another person trying to coin their own term? W Nowicki (talk) 17:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
