Camwen Exxos I am probably going to get banned because I got three PM's from the admin account about cash sales and reported all three as spam. Telling them that using the admin account for this "is essentially like if the government used the emergency broadcast system to sell products." Seriously? You're getting cash ads through PMs now? That's disgusting. Good for you for reporting them as spam. You guys got those PM's too??? I was all happy to see that I got Pm's cuz I hadn't gotten any in a long time...then I saw those and I was like SERiOUSLY?? I am NOT that desparate for mail!

Though for the newbies...I'm sort of glad (if they're smart) that all this s**t is happening now so that some of them won't be buying into the craziness.

Now I feel lucky to have only the announcements. I'm using BetterGaia addon on chrome that allows me to just reload all the announcements with one click automatically. If they do ban you Exxos, you can find some of us already in recolor.me -site. smile gaia_angelright Camwen Exxos I am probably going to get banned because I got three PM's from the admin account about cash sales and reported all three as spam.

I guess we've got ourselves a planned departure destination over at recolor.

How can they not see that? gaia_nitemareleft I don't know. I think they've lost it. I've recieved 10 announcements from yesterday and all related to cash. Looks like you weren't the only one doing the reporting. Staff announcement. At least the message was heard, but I'm not sure if it was understood. *sigh* gaia_angelright

But yeah, I chimed in on their thread, but my response will probably be lost in the flood. Exxos The Admin account should only be used for site safety notices, operational notices, and other serious alerts. Using the Admin account for spamming is not just a misuse of the account it is morally/ethically objectionable. You want to spam us? Make a spamming NPC. We already can't ignore/block accounts like Cygnus for spamming, so you can accost us regardless. But the Admin account should be left to relevant, important things. Especially because it is going to create a "boy who cried wolf" situation where we'll just start dismissing the Admin entirely. One moment it is being used for spam, the next you're trying to warn us about murderous ***** or a massive security breach with it and nobody will be listening.

I think this is exactly why you should never mix marketing with administrative alerts. I do hope they see your post (and a lot of other well worded ones I've seen too)

We went to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. Fun movie smile I just ordered a huge load of bark dust to be delivered to the house on Wednesday. It's going to be a project that will probably take us through the weekend. We'll be highly motivated to get it done though since it will be blocking the driveway.
