Selling mass e-mail for cash?Hi there,
http://swapitshop.myfreeforum.org is selling mass e-mails to all of its users (which is over 7000) to advertisers which is a clear breach of the Terms of Service.
http://swapitshopforum.co.uk/Advertise.html
Is this allowed?
Cheers,
Jake

Our T&C say you can occasionally email your members, including a paid advert in this is not a particular problem.
I really wish swapit forums would stop trying to get each other into trouble

Yeah you're right, I have misread the announcement in another forum, I have just realised.
Sorry for this stupid topic, it makes me look like a complete idiot. Could you please delete this topic? :P

All I'll say is that I wouldn't be a member of any forum which I suspected of farming the email addresses of its members.
It's an outrageous thing to do.

Might be time to make a new forum NASF.myfreeforum.org < Not Another Swapit Forum

They are not farming the emails, they have them, and are possibly sending an advert to their members. I'd be the first to say I don't approve (and as a company myff has never sent a single advert via email to our customers) but this sort of thing is practically standard operating practice for web sites these days, so we can't sensibly impose our own standards on forum owners.
