Yeah spamming from an admin via PM is worse than the new users who sign up just to post their website.

 

[ViviTheMage]

This please, no more of these via PM.

 

[nakedfrog]

I also would like to not receive this again.

 

[AdamK47]

It's either this or they'll make the red blocked notifications icon five times bigger.

As someone pointed out in another thread, and I didn't even catch it, the "News" PM was calling Jim Keller the CEO of Intel. LOL. Wishful thinking, perhaps.

I mean, maybe if it were remotely useful information, MAYBE, but still. Pretty, kind of unwanted behavior.

Maybe if they sent them via e-mail, rather than PM, I would be more accommodating?

PMs should be for more important, pressing matters that require more immediate attention. Not for SPAM.

Let us disable this feature, no one likes forced promotion.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Why couldn't they just put this as a banner notification above the forums-list page, and let us CHOOSE to click on it, and take us to a thread with that info? That would be borderline acceptable.

 

[Stg-Flame]

I agree with everyone above. Forced spam won't be tolerated by many people here.

 

[destrekor]

It is known.


I have spoken.

 

[JEDIYoda]

exactly!! But with that said this kind of Spam is not to bad --

giant Spam gif removed. This isn't OT.

[GrumpyMan]

I think that was done within this thread. Anyone who posted above clearly wants out.

This. Just Post it on the Forums page. Achieves the same result without everyone getting nervous about why they are Banned this time....

That would circumvent the engagement marketing the new owners have been desperately pursuing lately.

Hey, folks. Thank you for your thoughts on the Weekly Review. I'll be adding the users who express similar concerns on this thread to an 'Unsubscribed' list, making sure to check back on this thread + replies to DMs for any other names to add to the list. Apologies for any headache caused!

So you wouldn't mind if we all spammed you in return as long as we stop once you ask us to? Seems like a convoluted way of doing things, no? It would be better if you did it the responsible way and let people opt IN to whatever you want to broadcast instead of subscribing us against our will and forcing us to opt out.

Thank you for unsubscribing me. A polite, unsolicited suggestion might be to not use the PM system for this, but rather a banner or a sticky thread. You will be creating a lot more work for yourself by having to constantly unsubscribe people from it, and it will be continuous work because people will decide they don't want this at different time intervals.

By all means, unsubscribe me from your unsolicited spam list...thank you, thank you very much.

 

[Fardringle]

Please remove me as well. Private Messages are not a good way to do this.

 

[IEC]

Concur. This needs to go back to the drawing board.

Yeah. I appreciate the effort, but I prefer to browse through the threads to see what I want to read, personally.

Unsub please
