Joined the forum and got email spammed :(

[Bowdon]

I just had to delete about 24 emails all with the same subject header since joining the forum.

Never had that before when I've signed up for things.

must be a new thing...i've been here a while and i haven't ever received a thing

in your settings, change the subscription mode from "instantly, using email" to "do not subscribe"

otherwise any reply in that thread will trigger an email message

It's not spam. It's a forum thread subscription.

You must not know what real spam is.....

[Ai Haibara]

There are those who consider any unwanted/excessive mail in their inboxes to be spam, you know. (Now, back to deleting tons of that real spam from my inbox... )

And then there are those who don't take the time when joining something or purchasing items to read or become informed before making their choice. Then they get bent out of shape/jump to conclusions when they get something they didn't want.Caveat emptor : All easily solved by taking time when one makes choices.

Next time don't check the box that says "Notify me every time someone breathes".

Could be just coincidence.
I use a unique email for every forum, so I know exactly where someone got my email from.

I've never, in several years, got any spam to the address I use here.

I get notifications for things I've subscribed to, but that's optional.
