He certainly is rude and in violation of the board's rules of conduct.

But it was nice of him to point out the mote in our eye. I can't help but notice that beam ...

Fwiw, this is the 1st and only complaint about that feature

Personally, I like it.

Grasp the meaning yet? Bold added by me, of course. There is nothing stating your emails also send along the spam.

I use the feature extensively, on several boards, and none of them send the message in the notification email. Example:

Now, do you see contents of the PM I'm being notified about contained therein? And, this board is the only one I've ever received such a message coming with the notification email. Are you claiming that can't be fixed???

Glad he was banned, and you can certainly edit your software to not include the message with the notification email.

Has nothing to do with what I received, and, I like the feature, too, which is why I enabled it. See above as to what email message almost all other boards send as a notification.

Yes,it is feasable, and your lack of knowledge is neither here nor there. I posted the common one in use on every other board I've ever registered on.

I strongly suggest you rein in your pet trolls from calling posters liars and lose the baiting tactics your regulars routinely indulge in, moderators or no. You might actually improve the board, if not the post count.

Now, are we clear on what notification means to most people?

Note the part I put in red. Now, what is the word in front of notification? Email, of course. You did not read the word Email? Do you know what the phrase Email notification means? It means that you want to be notified by Email. To put it short and sweet, it is your fault because you checked the box for Email notification.

Crimeny. I have been a member of this forum for years, and you are the very first member in all this time who is going on my ignore list before posting any response to ANYTHING that I have ever posted. If you really have to ask why, I will Email the reason to you, instead of posting here, in order to protect you from further public embarrassment and humiliation.

Do you grasp the fact that notification doesn't mean forwarding the spam along with the notification?

Are there any adults here? I mean somebody who graduated high school before the '70's and 'social promotion' came along and dumbed down the last two generations? Somebody who knows the frigging difference between EMAILING a notification and EMAILING the PMs themselves????

As opposed to the trolls who clearly don't understand the issue insisting on insulting people pointing out a real problem with their software? Indeed. I can see how that would disturb pompous asses who don't understand a damn thing going on here.

But, I think the board administrators will 'get it' the hard way, if some kiddie porn spammer uses their system to send unsolicited kiddie porn links to email addies here, and we'll see how well they get away with denying responsibility for their software, which also violates their own TOS.

One more time, let's see if this sinks in:

The first email came with the PM and the porn link; this is not merely a notification. I posted an email I get notifying me that have a PM as an example. It is not necessary to send the PM in the email, and indeed nothing in the options selection indicates that it is.

Once again, does anybody see the PM itself in the notification example I posted, versus the email I got from here that has the spam in the email? If not, please just butt out, because you're obviously too stupid to have any input whatsoever. This is a Feedback/Suggestions forum, not an 'I don't get it but I'm going to post gibberish anyway' contest like the political forums, to see whose heads this goes over the highest.

This means that when you recieve a PM of any kind the software AUTOMATICALLY, because of your choice, sends you an email stating that you recieved a PM.

No other board forwards the contents of the PM in the notification email. It's a very simple issue. Really it is. Don't send the spam along with the notification to supposedly private email addies. Leave it in the PM service on the board, where it belongs. Some people, those with families, also share email addies, in case you aren't aware of that, and like the example I posted, most software doesn't send the contents of the PMs along with their notification emails.

Duh.

I'm sure the software vendor can help the admins fix this leak and abuse.

I'm sure you have no interest whatsoever in receiving any satisfaction, Mr. September.

Enjoy your stay!
