Share the Love thread

Amazon doesn't give the email address, but I assume you're Aaron Clark, so I took you off of my list.

Method to remove (?) people from your Amazon Friends list:

Go to Amazon.com.

Click on Wish List.

Under the menu bar, there is a line that says:

Friends & Favorites > About You > Your Wish List

​

Click on the hyperlinked Friends & Favorites.

On the right, there is a box, with Amazon Friends in it.

Click on Amazon Friends

Click on the Edit to the right of Your Favorite People

Click on the radio button for delete for Aaron Clark and Thomas Plunkett

Save changes

I emailed everyone who has sent out a STL in the last eight days, to let them know of the deletions, and the method (if it works?) to remove people from their Amazon Friends list...

Done and done. Thanks.

I did a mass mailing to all people on the list who haven't asked to be removed yet, to see if anyone else wants off. Hopefully, I don't get a ton of emails saying, "No, keep me on."

Taelorn, I think Aaron posted his email address long enough to get his name on a list, then edited his post to remove his email address. At least, he did, if he's the poster I'm thinking of. (One poster did that, so I'm guessing it's Aaron.)

Now, could people edit their posts to remove my email address and name? That means y'all, Urbannen, Taelorn, and JohnSemlak. Pretty please?

I got it for you.

Thanks, PC!

Taelorn,

You may wish to put a warning in the first post of this thread concerning the frequency of the "Share the Love" messages and also the difficulty of getting off everyone's list.

You may also wish to emphasize that once on people's lists, we cannot guarantee they will ever be taken off (since each individual person has to do that). A person should at least have a good chance to educate themselves concering these drawbacks before posting.

I'm missing how being on people's lists is a drawback. *shrug*

Is it because you are getting "love" for non d20 books? People just need to be better about seeing who they send stuff too. I ordered "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" and "Genesis of the Grail Kings" a couple of days ago. I didn't send out love to any ENworlders because I wasn't sure if it would be offensive to any of you. As far as I know none of you got it...

Here's a possible disclaimer to put in the first post of the thread:

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING TO THIS THREAD

1. Amazon.com’s “Share the Love” program is a marketing scheme that works as follows:
   
   
   • An Amazon.com customer buys one or more products. The customer gives Amazon.com the email addresses of other prospective buyers, and Amazon.com sends a “Share the Love” notification to each of these email addresses.
     
     
   • Each person receiving a “Share the Love” email notification gets an offer for the products initially purchased at 10% off the regular Amazon.com price. They have a week to take advantage of the offer.
     
     
   • If any of the prospective buyers purchase a product via the “Share the Love” offer, the original customer gets an Amazon.com credit worth 10% of the product’s price. They then have 30 days to apply the credit to their Amazon.com account, and another 30 days after that to redeem the credit.
   
   
2. This is a general Amazon.com “Share the Love” thread. By posting your email address...
   
   
   • You indicate a desire to receive “Share the Love” notifications for any and all D&D/D20 related products, as well as most other gaming or genre related goods.
     
     
   • You realize that you may and probably will (eventually) receive “Share the Love” notifications concerning just about any product Amazon sells. While this list is intended to be gaming related, other products may slip in via accident or oversight.
     
     
   • You understand that you may receive several “Share the Love” emails each week (or even each day). Please do not add your email to this thread unless you don’t mind the “spam.”
   
   
3. WARNING: once you are added to the “Share the Love” list, it may be very difficult to be removed.
   
   
   • We will remove your email from the "master list" in the first post upon your request. But this does not guarantee you will instantly stop receiving "Share the Love" notifications.
     
     
   • Once someone “Shares the Love,” all the email addresses are added to their Amazon Friends list. Removing your email from this thread will not remove you from any Friend lists you are already on. To request that someone removes you from their list, please do the following:
     
     
     • Politely email them asking to be removed from their Friends list.
       
       
     • Include your email name, address, and Amazon user account name (if applicable).
       
       
     • Include instructions on how to remove a Friend:
       
       Go to Amazon.com.
       Sign in if needed (under top menu bar).
       Click on "Wish List" (on very top line).
       Click on "Friends & Favorites" link (on left side under top menu bar/search box).
       Click on "Amazon Friends" (first line in "Your Participation" box on right side).
       Click "Edit" button (after "Your Favorite People" heading).
       Click on "Delete" radio button for "<INSERT YOUR EMAIL NAME (not address) or AMAZON USER NAME here>".
       Click "Save Changes" button.
       Click on "Welcome" tab to go back to Amazon.com main page.
       
       
     • Remember to thank them for their trouble.
       
       
     • It may take the recipeint several days to remove your from their Friend list. Please feel free to send another (polite) reminder if you get a subsequent "Share the Love" notification.
     
     
   • To refuse all "Share the Love" email notifications:
     
     
     • If you have an Amazon account for the email you receive "Love" on, you may turn off all your "Share the Love" notifications.
       
       
     • Click on the "Your Account" button. In the "E-mail Notifications" section, click on the "Share the Love" link. Select the "Don't Participate" button.
   
   
4. When sending "Love" to others:
   
   
   • Please limit your Love to D&D/D20 and other gaming/genre related products. Use your best judgement.
     
     
   • Please promptly remove anyone who asks from your Friends list.
     
     
   • You may wish to regularly clean out your Friends list (or always send "Love" only to explicit emails by not checking the "Share with Friends" box).
     
     
   • Realize that you will be added to the Friends list of everyone who receives your Love! They may not realize this and include you in Love which has nothing to do with D&D or gaming.
