explicit permission.
And explicit permission does NOT mean fine print or easily misunderstood gibberish.
Emails should all have a box that says "Can we share your email address? If so check box."
My account (like most everyone else's) is constantly hit with crap I'm not interested in.
Anyone that sells an email address should have their internet privileges taken away from them by having their fingers amputated.
The other thing that's annoying as hell is if you buy yourself something on line the merchant keeps stuffing your inbox with his advertising. Of course you can often unsubscribe but sometimes that takes quite a while.
When you DO unsubscribe it should be instant. Right fu**in' now.
The company should be forced to cough up, say, $20 for every unwanted ad, email or jack-in-the-box sent an hour after one unsubscribes. The 'wait for a few days until we process' is a bunch of crap. Their software was set up to bug you the instant you made your order. It can be set up to stop bugging you the instant you tell it to.
Selling emails should be immediate castration.
Agree re heinous annoyance, either no way whatsoever to unsubscribe from unwanted unasked for email barrages .... or those who say it will take however many months & however many trouble tickets but then just seem to double or triple amount of stuff they send.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if fingers are amputated for offenses how does one then differentiate between purveyors of unwanted mail and fireworks.sellers Two-fingers Louie? Asking for a friend.
Good fireworks dealers ALWAYS get a pass.
