    Our mail server has shown significant overload this month, due to some individuals using private conversation feature as their personal updates blog, adding hundreds of members to that conversation, that will consequentially receive email notification for every single message in that conversation.

    While most members never intentionally signed up to receive email notifications for private conversations during registration, i made the decision to opt everyone out of those notifications, to decrease the load to our mail server and give you the conscious choice whether you want to receive them in the first place.

    Now if you do want to receive email notifications every time someone is sending you a PM, go to this page and select the checkbox: Receive email when a new conversation message is received.

    I seldom check any E-mail because I really don't get any or have much to discuss beyond trying to be helpful or giving advice. I enjoy my solitude and peace.

    "Some individuals"? How unfair. That dude started the most beautiful thing to happen to Audiosex forum for a long time. And with the most generous captures share with the Audiosex community. He also attracted lots more users to this forum by starting this thing. Do you consider his positive contribution? Or you're only concerned about mail?

    Now he says he's getting blamed and accused, with threats of a ban.

    He doesn't deserve this for the good thing he started. He only had the best intentions for Audiosex community, he didn't mean any harm.

    Besides, it was suggested by the mod Omiac that he redirects thread activity to PM to follow the forum rules and avoid link requests in the open threads, to keep it legit. The dude obliged, he followed the rules. And now he is still the one to be blamed.

    It looks like you are going after this guy, one accusation after the other.

    If you bash every guy who starts a beautiful thing for the community, the only guy you'll end up with will be Foster and his "you don't use the right notes" bullshit threads. Think about it.

    Don't go after the good, helpful, positive guys. Go after Foster and duplicate account trolls like him.

    You know the most ironic thing? As far as I can see, SAiNT has joined the mailing list of people receiving free updates of captures from the sharing dude. He's actually on the list of participants. WOW. Just WOW.

    Are you even for real? How you even go around this stuff... How can you even do this to this dude after getting free shit from him?

    So mods/admins want to have the cake and eat it too. Never happens.

    Hypocrisy 101. You can't be asking for free cookies and complain about them too. Normally I wouldn't be posting this angry, but as far as I can see, this is very wrong, wretched, two-faced stuff you're doing to that guy. And it's just not fair. Very disappointed to see this crap unfold.

    And this is coming from the people who encourage us to "play nice" on this forum. How about you, guys? You play nice too?

    Nah, I have a good idea. I see you on the mailing list of participants for the captures, then I see you complaining you're getting too much mail activity.

    And I also see you going against the guy who was kind and generous to you and thousands of other Audiosex members. For me that equals you going against all these forum members as well. And that's hostile behavior. From the top admin, not in the least.

    That's enough for me.

    @Dragovics relax. Seriously man, you're misinformed and assuming way too much here. I have zero clue what you're talking about and certainly have done none of what you've said. Ask the member who started the group yourself - I have done everything I possibly can to help facilitate the group and keep everything running smoothly! :yes:

    Then why are we having this problem now, Omiac? First you want to help running everything smoothly and help keep this going, OK, and you ask to relocate the effort from open threads to PM to avoid open linking in the thread. Understood. That's rules.

    OK, and that was done. The dude obliged and did this, he didn't spam the threads with links.

    How come he's accused right now of misusing the PM? First you allow this, then you give him the red card for what you already allowed. That's hypocrisy.

    Omiac, you say you help everything, but then capture-receiving email participant saint mother Theresa arrives and spoils the whole thing. What is going on? How is this right, explain?

    I'm not assuming anything. Saint is on the mailing list, anyone can see, and he's also the guy complaining about emails! How is this even possible?

    I know how email tax can be unloaded. Saint leaves the participant list. Since he brought up this "problem", he can also be the solution.

    What are you so mad about?
    You seem like one of my choleric employees who rages about everything as soon as he feels beeing criticized,
    even if no one criticizes him in person so calm down a little, that mad mood doesn't help resolving any issue.

    @Dragovics Absolutely no idea why. Yes, no warez links was requested and obliged (to avoid the thread/group being completely shutdown). Yes, using a different form of "can I get the link too!" membership request was suggested and agreed to. Absolutely no accusations or "red cards" were ever presented.

    Regarding email, SAiNT already explained this - there was a sudden problem and he solved it by turning off auto-email notifications. I see no harm or "spoil" in that. As for the rest, I am not on the group list, or am I? :dunno:

    We are working with the member who runs the group to find the best solution to keep it running smoothly. I promise you, we all have the best intentions here. Frankly, your continued accusations are unfounded, causing confusion and not helping matters, please stop. TY!

    If you don't know the topic and what's being discussed, then you're actually the one who should keep quiet, not me. First get to know what's being discussed, then speak. Smart adult people usually behave like that, but not judging if I speak to a child.

    Next time bring parents to the monitor.

    Dragovics, this topic is about eMail Notifications, it's not about your conspiracy theories. if there's anything you don't like on this forum - you know where the door is. :dunno:
    otherwise please stay on the topic and stop spreading misinformation, there is absolutely no need for any of it here. :no:

    the funniest thing is that you have no idea what actually happened :no:

    careful there now :dont:

    Nah, I like this forum just fine. I never said anything bad about the forum itself. It's fine.

    I just don't like you and your two-faced policies and that's what I actually said. But that's minor nuisance. I can live with it. Lots of better people here than you, anyway. They are worth staying, not you.

    I said nothing about the forum or the kind people here.

    Clever attempt at switching the topic, anyway!

    I only have one complaint. It's too bad you can't put Saint on ignore. This definitely should be made possible!

    I'm done.
