Spam!!!!

**HeyWayne** · 08-04-2010, 09:08 AM

Have asked Admin for ya - I was a little perturbed to receive this today. I had a quick check, and yes, I am happy to report I am the wrong demographic for this magazine.

**HotStuff** · 08-04-2010, 09:15 AM

Not having a go at you HW, but I seriously doubt demographics had anything to do with it

My guess would be this is more "carpet bombing" than "tactical strike".

I have got the same too! Did we all get it - sorry not very worldly wise when it comes to spam stuff

Thanks for the post HotStuff!

**Nicos** · 08-04-2010, 09:34 AM

I don't want stuff like that either!

Hello

This is my first post. Doubtless it will also be my last but I do hope that admin has the guts to leave this thread open as it is a serious comment on their Company Policy & I hope they take note

When I choose to accept this option, "From time to time, the administrators may want to send you email notices", I did not expect to be SPAMMED with direct email telling me about the launch of a new women's magazine by the publishing company who owns these forums. I recognise that admin need to contact forum members from time to time on forum-related business but this is a step too far.

I trust I am not the only one offended.

Hi there - er - welcome to the vine! I think you'll find that Hotstuff has posted a thread about this - and some tips for disabling it! His timely advice led to me not being pestered with tips on how to get rid of my fat belly at every opportunity!

**piskieinboots** · 08-04-2010, 09:54 AM

Yep, I got it too - it got swiftly deleted

**Glutton4...** · 08-04-2010, 09:55 AM

I just deleted my email - there's far more in this world to get cross about!

**piskieinboots** · 08-04-2010, 09:57 AM

I get lots of Spam due to having several email accounts, I delete without opening, the title is (nearly) always obvious

Eeeerrrrrmmm.
Hello.

All I can say is I have been on the forum for about a year, and haven't been pestered with Spam. The powers that be are really good at sorting all that.

I hope that you don't disappear straight away, and stay and enjoy what I think is the best and friendliest gardening forum available.

No me, I kept the right boxes ticked and escaped the carpet bombing.

Smart @rse!

Silly me I assumed the 'adminstrators' would only be emailing with something relevant to the forum itself - you know spam warnings, that sort of thing.

I have now unticked the box in my UserCP - Settings & Options/Edit options.
