Hi gang,
Yesterday we received a site spam, which a number of you kindly reported to me. I had also received it, and as soon as I got it, I dumped the user that created it. Thanks for the heads up.
I sent a global email out to all members notifying y'all that I had stopped the spammer.
So, one of you reported *me* as one to my ISP. One more, and I get fined heavily. One after that, and Gotmead.com is *OFFLINE*. Frankly, I get fined, and Gotmead is offline anyway, I can't afford to pay fines.
If you reported the *E-mail message* you got about getting a *personal message* on the forum, you reported *me*, not the spammer. I'd like to think that is what happened.
If you don't want to receive the 3-4 times yearly mass messages I send out to members when site issues occur, then please delete your registration, or email me to have it done.
Gotmead.com does not, nor will it ever send unsolicited mail of any kind. Everyone here registered of their own free will, and is free to unregister if they wish to never receive email from the site.
I am copying this to PM's so whoever reported me has the option to reply privately. I have asked my ISP to provide me with the email addy of the person who reported me so I can remove them from the system, since they obviously do not wish to be here.
Along the same lines, if you have never verified your account (required for it to be activated), I will be removing all unverified accounts in the system, in hopes of preventing this. You will need to re-register and re-verify to have an account on Gotmead.
If I get another notification that someone reported me, I'll be forced to remove users who haven't logged into the system in an extended period to try to minimize the chance that a legitimate email from Gotmead.com gets reported.
Again, no spam or unsolicited email will ever be sent from Gotmead.com. If you are a registered member, you may receive the occasional announcement when the system has had problems.
If you do not wish to ever receive email from Gotmead.com, please feel free to remove your registration from Gotmead.com.
