It's true. They are email spammers just like all the other email spammers. I used to get a few of their news letters, but I cancelled them all - several times. Each time I cancel them, they stop coming for a while, but it doesn't take long before they start sending them again. I've been receiving spam from them for years - the current period has lasted a few months so far, but I'm fed up of cancelling each time. I'm now receiving 3 copies of the newsletter each time.

Bloody spammers!

Perhaps they think you want to subscribe rather than cancel

hehe...

i am getting this too - 3-4 copies of each newsletter, the delete key is very handy in situations like this!

Me too, drives me crazy. I also add them to my spam filter and somehow they come back.

I get it too, and it never goes away. I agree with the delete key, it has become my best friend. Damn Spam!!

Spam Spam Spam, Green eggs and Spam... I get frequent copies of this junk..

We should file a class action lawsuit ...

I'm getting this spam as well ...

is there a way to cancel it forever? my personal email got spam also... i'm getting frustrated

... the only way I can think of is for us to write a petition, get a bunch of e-signatures and submit it to webproworld. If not, class action lawsuit. Seriously ...

petition sound good... yet i got a lot of spam in my email... i wont get surprise to see 10 to 20 email every morning in my email...

Spreading the fact that they are spammers around the forums, including WPW, might cause them to take notice and change tbeir policy.

I like that idea, sounds good phil

Also suffered from their newsletters - however many you unsubscribe from another 'different' one appears.

As far as I know, I get one that I subscribed to years ago - I've unsubscribed to it and all others several times.

I've just started a thread at WPW about it:-

http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=66712

How about informing the advertisers that WPW's delivery list isn't all opt-in, and that they are be being cheated if they've been told that it's opt-in. They may not be interested, but, then again, they might be.

I got a regular flow of different 'iEntry' provided mail. Just as well I worked out how to use Spam filters on my email!

I thought you were banned there?

How long before the thread gets locked/deleted ?

I was, but I registered with another username, and they weren't bothered. The guy who banned me hadn't got a clue what was going on at the time, because he was new to the job.

We'll see, huh?

He He
I suppose if they follow the link you provided they'll soon work it out.

Interestingly if you search Google on WPW on eof the top 10 results is a WPW spamed me page from somewhre else.

Top 20 page on G is Phil C banned form WPW! Always making news eh Phil.

You've lost me. What should I search on, and where?

Sorry, I meant if you search Google for 'Webproworld'

Well - the Title was changed, and Mike made a sarcastic post, which was rather stupid. He added that the thread would be removed in a couple of days, and that I'd be banned for posting it.

He denied spamming and explained what might be the reason for the spam - people are automatically opted-in for a newletter when they register in the forum. So I did a check, and registered a new username. There was nothing to suggest that, in registering, I would opt in for a newletter. Newsletters weren't mentioned anywhere in the registration process. So it's spam.

The thread is continuing over there for the time being.

Correction:

He also edited the link to this thread in my post. He's a real dickhead.

The thread continued with animosity, and is still there, but it's being removed in the morning - and I'm getting banned at the same time.

As I said, Mike tried to claim that registering for the forum automatically opts in for a newsletter, but that isn't the reason why I'm getting them. I get 3 copies of the same newsletter - all to different email addresses. The first one started quite a few months ago, the second one was added some time after that, and third one started coming quite recently. In all of that time, I haven't registered a username at WPW, so the emails really are spam.

I personally hope that neither happens.

The thread needs to continue for obvious reasons, and any community benefits from your participation.

And for any of you who want to cry "suck-up"

FU** OFF!

Dave

thats why... they will send again and again
