Spamming Emails?

[MikeB]

I got it too, I only used my work email on this site, seems to me that you went through people profiles and got their emails. I have never signed up with anything with Buy The Reef using my work email. I have unsubscribed as the way you got the emails are not cool.

I think evrybody needs to take a chill......I can see if it was for viagra or **** or something but making a big stink over a stand up sponsor of this site for the last few years sending out an e-mail is a little overboard. It was one e-mail and about stuff we like Corals.....Not Cialis, Viagra, **** or date sites......With all the crap e-mails that get sent out for who knows what you guys are gonna make a big stink over Buy the Reef sending out an update of their new site......All you have to do is hit delete or unsubscribe....Takes what 20 seconds out of your day?

I actually got the email, but I am signed up. ;) I do get emails from other companies I have never even heard of that sell coral. Not sure how they got my email though. Honestly though I don't care to get them, I just unsubscribe or keep them.

It is a big deal. I got spam to two of my email addresses that I shouldn't be getting email from about crap from a fish store. I agree with knowing where you got it from, playing the crap you saved them up over the years doesnt fly. OPT IN is OPT IN, its not a well since we have the email address we might as well use it..

bad sales tactics..

Its easy just to report them as spammers to their host appliedi.net

What ever there are more important things to worry about these days.....It was an e-mail big f'n deal get over it......Delete or unsubscribe let them know in a PM. To make a big *** deal over an e-mail is one of the problems with people these days.....everything has to be made a mountain out of a mole hill, something that can be taken care of easily and without fuss, the guy apologized and said a few ways to take care of it and it wouldn't happen again.....If that is all you have to worry about then I applaud you.

There are far worse sale tactics I have seen and had used against others and me, an e-mail is by far the least benevolent I have seen.....
It's not like the test e-mails that some of us get from another vendor that was coming in at 15-20 a day, that is irritating day after day. But add it to the spam filter and BAM don't deal with them any more problem solved......

Just sayin........

Listen I have noticed that there was some talk or speculation about R2R selling our email list. This is not true and will never be true. I don't like slander and I take great offense to this. I have been sent a message that brought some of this to light for me so I want to settle it. For those of you who want to say that this was the fault of R2R, I advise you to tread lightly as I will take it very seriously. I will go ahead and be in contact with my lawyer about steps necessary to stop these malicious rumors if it continues.
