I would appreciate it if the Admins here would not hand out my email to members here, and I especially have no interest in somebody's new porn site, and I especially strongly don't appreciate my email addy being on a spam list for porn sites. I do not think having the box in my profile to allow admins to email me means I gave somebody the right to email me porn spam, and if it continues, I will take appropriate steps to see that it never happens again.

Thank you for your cooperation.

It looks, to me, like this is not the result of the admins handing out your e-mail address.

It looks like someone named "Navv Pride" used the private message function to spam you, and the board sent you an e-mail to notify you of the private message.

I could care less what excuses are made. If the above is the case, then the Admins obviously need to fix the problem. It originated from here, obviously, and even names a member here, as well as my username and the email addy I use here.

NP would never send some bull**** like that to any member. I'm leaning towards the you're full of chit/you made this up theory.

Summerwind

Read more carefully its "Navv Pride", there is actually a member with such a handle and should be banned

DudleySmith

Really? I'm leaning toward the theory you're a semi-literate moron.

ARealConservative

you can turn off all emails in which case admins do not have the ability to send a message.

There is nothing to be fixed.

You didnt get all of your settings in your user control panel straight

It's your fault Dudley

go to your user control panel and look for something thats about getting emails when you receive a private message



ps name calling is for the grade school playground

Yes. I haven't logged in here in a long time, and I certainly wasn't here long enough to develop grudges for any member here. If I were to fake spam from anybody here and then whine about it, I would have put Volker's name in there instead of 'Navv Pride'.

Simon W. Moon

also, by posting the link to the porn site you have helped out the spammer. nice job there. I'm sure the spammer appreciates you efforts.



mods, would you please remove the spam link that Dudley posted here?
