Spam!!!

[Walter]

I keep getting spam from this site. I've replied to the e-mails asking you stop sending them, yet I got another a few minutes ago.

Hello, Walter!

We've noticed that you've not been active on ScubaMagazine Forum for quite some time now, and we miss you!

Could we not tempt you back?

If you don't remember your password, you can request it here: http://www.scubamagazine.net/login.php?do=lostpw

We hope to see you soon



Kindest Regards

Regardless of how long it's been since I last visited this forum or how long it's been since I posted here, I do not want your spam. Stop sending it.

Walter,

Those are periodic we miss you e-mails automatically send out just once a month.

If you go into your user control panel you can set it so you never get any reminder or any other types of e-mails from the administrator.

What an ______(<--put in your favorite name here.)!

Like someone forced him to join or give away his email address. That does not look ANYTHING like spam anyway.

What is his email address? Send it to me and I will make sure he gets LOTS of spam! So much he won't have time to write nasty comments here!

Calm down Ace, chances are he is over reacting. Probly had a bad day and this was a last straw post.

Besides if you are sending him so much that he won't have time to post... when will you have time to post here...

I don't think he's over reacting at all. I too have been getting these emails and have replied to them as well as to the site admin and have asked them to stop sending them but have not received any responce and the emails keep on coming. If someone had responded and told me how to stop them I would have gladly changed the settings because they annoying!

[acelockco]

All you have to do is look at your settings and you can change it. It is not rocket science here people. I think the problem is people like to complain instead of doing anything for themselves.

Respectfully the admins do need to check the "We miss you" settings, it's not just once every 30 days. I receive the "We miss you!" emails much more often than once every 30 days, at least once a week if not more often... and at that frequency a spam label isn't too hard to justify.

This site is a business and Walter is/was a valuable source of feedback that has probably been driven away forever by an unresponsive admin and hostile remarks. Consider how many other 'customers' are also feeling irritated by these too frequent emails. Will the site continue to ignore the problem (driving more members away) or will they fix this very real problem? It's been nearly two months since Walter brought up the issue and it hasn't been fixed yet...

We have it set to once every 30 days, you're the first person who seems to indicate you get it more then once every 30 days even after the rest.

We just turned it off till we can verify from someone who can show us they are getting it more frequently then once every 30 days.

Other forums use it quite sucessfully.

All you guys have to do is just let us know if something isn't right, and we respond.
