Don't know why it would be illegal. No threats or anything, just spam. And spam email sure as fuck ain't illegal.
Might be against the EULA or something and they'll ban your account. I suspect that's not a problem for you though.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
"Fuck you" is an insult, and email spam is illegal.
So if someone with a tiny ego and tinier penis really wants to sue over this, they just might have a case.
I resent that! An insult would be spoken, written, it's libel!
Not illegal, but pointless. They don't care.
Probably not illegal, but it's likely against their TOS.
When I run into this I ask myself why the fuck was I going to reddit again?
why did people downvote this? i thought this community was "no stupid questions" not "we're all better than you because you're question sucks and your stupid"
I think most people here have went through the 5 stages of grief. And at this point they don't care anymore. At least not to the degree they used to. It's been a year. Life goes on. Don't waste your time on being negative and spamming someone who once let you down. Look forward and spend your time on something useful. At least that's my opinion.
But yeah, it's a question. I just think other people think it's pointless and they don't care. And some of them are going to downvote you for that even in No stupid questions. And lots of other people aren't going to upvote something like this. Hence resulting in that ratio.
Because there is a difference in kind between questions like 'How long do I boil an egg for?' or 'What things should I do around the house to keep it well maintained?' and your question of 'If I do this dumbass childish thing, will the cops come after me?'
Did you mean to post to /noonedownvoteme instead?
Like, people answered yout question, what more did you want? A gold star?
yes please
This community urgently needs to be hosted on an instance without downvotes. Maybe there's one somewhere.
@Blaze@reddthat.com you like migrating comunities to better places so maybe you could look into that. I don't mind featuring the alternative community above this one when I implement discussion section in the directory.
no! downvotes are cool
but only when they happen to others
From what I understand that wouldn't really help. If you don't to see downvotes you have to move your account to an instance with downvotes disabled.
I also made this comment before I realised what the OP was trying to achieve. I thought he was downvoted because he asked "stupid" question as I was barely awake at this point. Haha
I still think some communities would benefit from disabling them though. But as you say there probably isn't a way to achieve that with current lemmy.
