Delete if inappropriate here...

Just curious. They used the email feature from this site to contact me about a competing site. They did *not* get my email address from this site, lest any lurkers worry, they emailed me *through* this site.

Bastids. I find this very unethical and it guarantees I will never visit their site.

Anyway, anyone else been Spammed?

Not inappropriate at all. I'd be curious if they have spammed others as well.

I get spammed all the time. And I even have spam blockers. But it hasn't been through the PM feature on this site.

A few of the muscle car sites that I visit have this problem also. I will say I have seen it more here then anywhere else. Good luck on cleaning it up.

I also got spam through the email function here. Don't recall what it was though.

I got contacted about another flooring site, but I don't know how they got my email, or how they contacted me.

I notice you have participated on a flooring related message board and I wanted to let you know there is one you might not be aware of....


I got that one this week but I didn't consider it spam. I've looked for places industry pros might be hanging out talking shop (no offense to Ken intended, this is a fine site) with little luck so to have one find me was ok with me.

P.S.

Wanted to add, I wouldn't consider it a competing site as they aren't selling anything there, plus, they link back to this site.
