I had no idea that participating in this message board would open me to email spam. Unfortunately, it often appears that there is no moderator here to deal with this type of abuse.

Undisclosed? Interesting. It's the web--get used to it.
http://www.slug-lines.com/Slugging/useragreement.asp Doesn't specifically address it as far as I can see, but web-savy people realize they'll receive mailings from any forum they sign up for. NoSB |

Oh, I imagined that I might get an email from slug-lines.com What is offensive is that a USER of this forum, RobertLangDirect, is able to send spam to everyone who registered here.
I just went into my profile on this site and changed my email address to one which is completely bogus (none@none.com). I suggest that anyone who doesn't want to get email from RobertLangDirect -- or any other user of this forum who wants to email their beliefs to your personal email addy -- do the same. |

I also got an email fro RobertLangDirect, trying to encourage me to post my comment on VDOT website's re HOT issue. This is probably the same "spam" email that you got. However, I did not take this as a spam. I actually took it seriously and submitted my pro-HOV comments in the specified webiste. I, as a slugging citizen, really appreciate RobertLangDirect's reminder email. Thanks for the reminder Robert!

I got the email too. Spam is defined as unsolicited email. Regardless of whether I agree with RobertLangDirect, he sent me spam. That's just not cool. Shame on you, RobertLangDirect, for exploiting our participation in this website for your personal agenda.

quote: ADMINISTRIVIA Please read the FAQs at the Snitz Forums 2000 site. Click on the Snitz logo in the lower right corner or the FAQ or Profile links near the top of the page. Snitz freeware is intended to allow forum members, not only system administrator to control options. One advantage I see of Snitz, is that there is an option to receive or send individual e-mails to other subscribers without actually knowing their e-mail address. A masking e-mail address is one of the options available. You still get the "private" e-mail from other forum members, but have the option of blocking the address as spam. Or better yet, of selecting "no e-mail." Look at the icons on the line that has the name of the poster. There will be from one to five icons depending on options selected. If you are the writer of a post, you will see two additional icons. A trash can and an edit icon. If you wrote it and want to retract or edit, click on the correct icon. If another member has selected to receive individual e-mails (not posted on the forum), there is an icon for that also. Netiquette on Forums is that if a member posts to a topic and has activated the "private" e-mail icon, then private e-mails are acceptable. As to the issue of whether soliciting members to make political comments? I'll leave that to the wisdom of the administrator. A separate forum might be the venue for political action. Slug-lines might work better as a site to recruit passengers, find new park and ride lots, find new pick up points and lost and found columns. While you are checking out the places linked from slug-lines.com, check out the "sponsors". Any comments about additional links? dickboyd@aol.com |
