Spamming, Enough is Enough !!!

Aug 29, 2008 3:22 pm Report Abuse

The spamming on RBs has gotten out of control. Why is it that every time we log into RBs that we have some 30-40 messages to to fish through before we get to the ones we actually care about. I have gone through the site terms of use and I could not find anything that states that this action is not allowed here. I believe that it is only common sense for most to believe that spam is not wanted. If we wanted to be spammed every single time you write a blog, we could simply click a link to subscribe to your blogs. Enough is enough. Please, I think RBs should implement something to decrease the spamming on this site, such as a DO NOT SPAM LIST, Report User for Spam link, something. Please help me to decrease spam to your mailbox by placing your comments here. Thank you prorails for a job well done, and your commitment to making RBs a better site.

Phil

i guess i am 1 of the lucky ones i hardly ever get any spam

i send out the odd spam but know it drives some people nuts so dont do it alot

Capt.Jack Aug 29, 2008 3:39 pm
The only spam that I ever send out is my tournament info once a week and yesterday I spammed my b-day tourny. If you don't want to receive it, I have no problem putting you in a "Do Not Spam" section of my friendlist.
Supertramp77 Aug 29, 2008 4:07 pm
you can block the spam with going to your friends list:
click then on edit list and then there is an option called blocklist...
of course...you get then no pms from this person at all...
but, as first help it should work...
redsox62axe Aug 29, 2008 4:12 pm

Spam spam spam wonderful spammmm...lol

tripps747 Aug 29, 2008 4:31 pm
yeah agree the spamming stinks 98% of my mail i dont care about anymore cause there invites and i dont play at full tilt no more....
astrogini Aug 29, 2008 4:46 pm
While I do agree that some go overboard, there are many who send mass PMs to their friends to share exciting and fun stuff and don't want them to miss out on something.

Many members I have seen that do spam have a message included saying that if you wish to not be included in future spams then to let them know. With the issue with mass PMs and friends list, its hard, but they do try very hard to prevent sending you something that you may not want.

As a clan leader, we do send information to our clan members regularly, but that's not something I would think any clan member would consider to be "spam"
danimal0030 Aug 29, 2008 4:47 pm
I totally agree everyday I get at least 4-5 messages. Its not as bad as it used to be though. I've thought about blocking the people I get the most spam from.
Hickoid Aug 29, 2008 4:53 pm

hmmmm why would you have people on your friends list if you don't care about what they have to say ????

From what i have noticed it is mostly tournament invites and if you don't want to play tourneys then delete your friends list and just play the RB tourneys ..... I myself don't mind the spam ... SPAM IS GOOD .... I like to know what and how well my fellow railbirds are doing ...... Is it really that hard to click the mouse 30 - 40 times LMAO ?????? .. it only takes 1 click to delete a PM

Well That is just my Opinion ... Best of luck to ya and have fun ....

PhilLaakness Aug 29, 2008 4:57 pm
It certainly is not the clan information the I am concerned with. Of the spam that I receive, only one person sends his out with the formentioned, "if you wish to not be included in future spams then to let them know". I will for obvious reasons keep his name private, but it is greatly appreciated.
davey52e Aug 29, 2008 5:15 pm

Maybe they like you. {lol} I have over 200 friends and I have no trouble with spams. At least I get very few and most are important.

I would suggest you check you friends list and take off the ones that spam you, if it bothers you that bad.

Good Luck and have a great day.

I DON"T WANNNA BE IT>>> LMAO

OOPS I AM A SPAMMER....AND I AM NOT SORRY !!!

I WANT TO INCLUDE ALL MY FRIENDS IN ON EVERYTHING.....ISN'T THAT WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR?
Markie141 Aug 29, 2008 7:05 pm

I don't really have a problem with it ,

I want to know if my friends write a cool blog so I don't miss it ,

and I want to know about tournies in case I'm home to play ,

30 to 40 is nothing , that's a really slow day lmao , gl

cozman Aug 29, 2008 7:09 pm
if your getting spam why are they your firends easy take them off your friends list friends dont spam friends
MentallyInsane Aug 29, 2008 7:12 pm
your it your it.. weeeeeeeeeeeee
Hogzfan83 Aug 29, 2008 7:34 pm

Just kidding ! I love spam ! !

tiltaholic Aug 29, 2008 7:35 pm
I don't get any aside from a few invites to tourneys but I don't cosider that to be spam. In all likelihood I asked them to include me in the first place. 40 per day would be a drag. I'm pretty much a grumpy, tilting, egotistical a-hole poker player and don't get too many pms.
SHERRY524 Aug 29, 2008 7:36 pm
I think its pretty simple. Spam is a tool used to communicate information. If you dont wish to be a part of it block the user from being able to send messages to you. Easy as pie.
PhilLaakness Aug 29, 2008 7:41 pm
When there is a problem and one can look around and not see the problem, it is most likely that this person is part of the problem !!!
