People with Yahoo email or ID accounts or eBay accounts should read this.

Sorry for this posting, but this is important.

Yahoo has set all it's user preferences for "user marketing offers" (or spam) to yes. eBay is going to do the same from what I've heard.

You should set your user marketing preferences on your YahooID back to no unless you like the spam e-mails.

Here's how to do it:
1) Login to Yahoo! at http://edit.yahoo.com/
2) Go to your Account Information (may require logging in again)
3) Under "Member Information" click on the link that says "Edit your marketing preferences."
4) For every option under your Marketing Preferences, select NO.
5) Click on [Save Changes]
6) Log-out.

You should also erase your address and phone number from your account/ID (or put in fake ones) as they can use them to send offers to you by mail or telephone if you don't change the preferences (and they may do something like this again in the future).

As for eBay, monitor your account and its set preferences. I don't know when that one will come into effect or how to change it.

I just wanted to post this because I know a lot of people have Yahoo or eBay accounts and spam is not good.

Three words --> I HATE SPAM!!!!

But I don't use Yahoo, I have a Hotmail account,
which I use for msn and newsletters etc, cause
I know that whenever you sign up for
newsletters you're bound to get some spam
after a while... >P If I get spam on my other
email accounts I go all nuts, feel like tracing the
mail until I find the person sending it.

What is so stupid about spam, and always
makes me laugh is; "ENLARGE YOUR PENIS!!!!"
etc.... and I sit there.... "Do I need a 'bigger'
penis? I'm a girl damnit!?!" >P

All we need... erm pics of naked men!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe some of the Vintersorg forumer's
men are up for it! Hehehe.... Geeeeees! >P

Morgana! Dirty business! >P Is it worth it? I'd rather
work a couple of days a week at (ooooooh, lovely)
ikea, and earn just enough for a couple of albums a
month, pay my appartment, some food, and a concert
every now and again ) Besides, naked men isn't "all
that" put on a boxer and you're getting
somewhere! >P There's a difference between that
sort of market for men and women )

Dunno if it's worth it, haven't tried yet...
It was just a thought...

Thanks for the tip, mousewings. I'll be sure to look out for that in my eBay account settings. Spam is highly annoying. Luckily, I use hotmail and it filtesr most of it. Although, I believe hotmail is the source behind a lot of it.

Morgana and Blackspirit, if I were old enough I'd help you two with your "business". I think it's illegal for me to be associated with that sort of thing.

 

[Morgana]

well here in Germany it would be a market for it, I'm sure...
But of course we better stop this subject, before we get sue by some parents...
