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

Hi Lisa...

I actually agree with Bj here... except it sounds like the same person that
not only did they sent that to me but I signed up and got the gizmo on a
page or two of mine as well... we exchanged messages regarding that...

and I think in that case it's a matter of scattered mindedness and not
realizing who they've sent it to and who they haven't????

But, yes, that is a bit much!

I had to send a polite note to someone who actually spammed my Groups...
not just one but

Hi Lisa,

If you tell them not to send you ads and they persist then it is spam.

The options are as have been discussed in the past block them and / or Report them.

To report them simply go to the contact us link at the bottom of any page
select abuse/spam from the drop down and give the details to Support.
