I am on somebodies not favourite list today, I told them they were spamming at apsense sending the same advertisement 4 Times. There answer: sorry for 4 time i apploize but not say spam because apsense is platform each friend free to share some new coming in web I did appreciate there apologising, although I disagree, spam is being sent something you do not want. The Spamhaus definition this comes under is " (2) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent. Sharing is not sending an ad, am I the only one that thinks this and is supported by a Technical Authority? I want your opinion & if I am wrong so let me know. Lisa

Well, if they are sending it 4 times a day, YEAH! That would make me go ballistic. If the message is being sent 4 times a week no. It is annoying and useless to send the same message that often but I personally do not consider it spam. But I like the Canned SPAM!! LOL

I think once you build a good level of trust it is okay to ask that person if they could send you information, other than that just sending emails after emails, it is spamming.

Very annoying and very much spam. I don't know what makes a person think its okay to send the same message repeatedly, it is so uncalled for.

I agree. Everyday I am getting a lot of these messages from contacts really I do not know them. Those who are in my friend circle are listed on my contact so normally all other messages go to spame/junk mail and I delete even without look over. However some messages come to inbox that irritate me. I think we all suffering with this spam period.

I also agree that it is spam when you keep receiving the same email with the same content. My box stays full enough as it is.

Anything unsolicited even from those on your friends list is spam! I just went through an cleaned out my "friends" lists of people who have been on there for months and the only contact I've had with them have been their spam messages. Just being on a list does not make you a friend! That means you don't have any right to send those garbage messages.

It's this kind of spamming that caused me to ignore ApSense for a long time.

I agree it is spam and its incredibly annoying too. There is nothing more irritating than a contact request or invite that is either full of the sender cramming their product down your throat or is immediately followed by an email filled with advertising.

I personally am not here to have someone elses business crammed down my throat repeatedly and generally block someone after the first go round of unsolicited advertising. If I am interested in learning about someones business, I will ask for

Completely and totally spam. I can't believe that some people still don't seem to understand what is and isn't spam.

I agree as well. We have the whole network to explore for information and then friends that may make mention, we do not need to send unsolicited mail. I actually prefer it that way!

I am happy to anounce I have just been denied by yet another spammer here in APSense.
after replying to thiere spam ad and telling them not to use my message box to send ads to.

Every contact I get is advised my message box it there for help and assistance and general communication and NOT to receive ads.

The amount of spam is unbelievable. Sending an ad someone does not want it is spam period. I constantly get these messages from contacts I really don't know. The only contact I have had with them is the spam messages. I've gotten to the point I simply delete the message then block them.

I totally agree that it is spam. If you didn't ask for the information, then it is spam. Besides there are plenty of places to advertise on Apsense besides sending messages.

I do not agree with their reply! Apsense email is NOT for sending ads to your contacts! That is why we have banner and text ads, Apsense Express bulletins and our ABC centers! This person definitely needs to be educated on how to properly network market, and I am guessing they are new to the network marketing scene.
I reply to them, as such: Thank you for the information, but, and then I go on to explain to them that they would have better results if they used the apsense express or Advertisin

Maybe not a spam but rather annoying then i should list them into spam hahaha lol. As simple as that. Twice is enough if someone sent me an email of the same content. Anyway e-mail is not an interesting thing to read.

Anything you receive unsolicited, whether useful or not, is a spam. If the sender persists even after your initial protest, it becomes an harrassment. If he/she still persists, it becomes a challenge to 'war'. The action you should take, and at what point, depends on your choice: delete, report, ignore/tolerate, retaliate, collaborate, or smile it off as a kind of fun. Happy choice, friend.
