ENWorld Spamletter

[Morrus]

OK, folks, let's cut down on the emotive language and hyperbole, please. Act in this thread as you would in any other. "Meta" doesn't mean "Doesn't follow the same rules as the rest of the site".

Hi Morrus,

Let's cut to the chase:

Are you going to backpedal on your decision to send out the newsletter to all forumites, or are you going to ignore the complaints?

Feel free to simply answer yes or no and then lock this thread.

Sorry for being so direct; but if you aren't going to listen to your userbase, what is a waste of time is this thread. And if you do listen; I would be surprised if anything more needs to be said: the spamletter move was ill-advised, that's all.

Best regards,
CapnZapp

Are you going to backpedal on your decision to send out the newsletter to all forumites, or are you going to ignore the complaints?

I am going to do neither of those things. Fortunately, the world is not a binary place, and I choose the third option which you didn't give me: I have listened to and discussed the complaints and respectfully disagreed. I have also listed to the many people who like the letter, and who emailed me disappointed that they didn't receive it the week the were having technical issues.

Feel free to simply answer yes or no and then lock this thread.

We mods will decide when/if the thread needs to be locked.

I'd just like to point out that, while sending the newsletter with an opt out is generally bad form, I wasn't too bothered by it - until I saw the advertising quote on the previous page, which prompted me to unscubscribe immediately.

Okay, well, as a purely personal counterpoint, and as part of the userbase, let me just say - feel free to send me as many site or game-related emails as you wish, and I will just opt out of any I don't feel like seeing any more. If at any time I feel hassled by these, I know I have the option to shut these off entirely just by going to my account settings. I feel this is such a miniscule "price" to pay (if it can be called such at all) for participating in this community.
