Anyone else received unsolicited mail from Jasmine

[rubystone]

I have, and according to the mail it's been sent thru Pistonheads. Not that I've got anything against Brian, he's always sold good quality stuff

[domster]

I have spoken to Sue at Jasmine about it. Only a privileged few recieved an email, I believe Sue thought it was useful info for those who had not been entirely happy with Design911.

Again, I also have only heard good things about Brian and Sue at Jasmine.

For the record, I believe that Sue will be contacting Ted before getting in touch with members via their profiles again, she is enquiring about advertising with PH and has been invited to contribute to the forum. After all, we welcomed Henry

[warmfuzzies]

Hmmm,

A heads up would have been the polite way first.

I didn't give Piston heads the go ahead to pass on my email addy.

I get enough cr@p as it is........

Please Pistonheads admin, let people know what could be coming, so's they can opt out.

Pistonheads didn't pass on your email address.

Sue posted through your public PH profile. This only happened to '6 or 7' people, apparently. If you didn't reply she won't know your email address.

She is aware that her actions are not 'protocol' and has been asked to check with Ted next time. I have also pointed her towards banner advertising on PH, so some good may come of this transgression (banner ads help keep this site free).

Hope this keeps everyone happy.

"privileged few"

My, flattery gets you everywhere, Dom.....

So there are four of us privileged few. Who are the other three?

The last time I got bombarded by emails was when Melvin's Merkins launched a High Wycombe store, if I remember.

[warmfuzzies]

Ok, so the mail says forwarded by piston heads, and its just semantics.
I'll pay teh site more attn when Jasmine get it working properly.......

kevin.

who has many good days, but hates venomously any form of spiced ham.

[domster]

Yup, it says forwarded by Pistonheads but it wasn't sent by Pistonheads. Important difference, as one is a mail delivery system, the other implies Ted is trying to flog you stuff, or approves of the people who are. And he doesn't.

As you say, the new website doesn't seem to work properly... not a very good impression.

[david hype]

Well I`m another one...

It`s me, smoked-out with my hands in the air, sorry boys!

What did I do to get selected for this mail anyhow?

[PetrolTed]

I'm talking to them about it.

I'll also be introducing some new features to prevent misuse of the email system that PH provides.

[domster]

So that's five...

You just had to contribute to the Design 911 thread and fall victim to Sue's itchy 'send' finger

[dmsims]

Six

[PetrolTed]

There were 11 in total.

[ninemeister]

You would never catch me doing such blatant advertising......

[funbobby]

7

[dmsims]

If only they had sent it today!

New European laws banning the sending of unwanted e-mails - spam - come into force on Thursday.
The laws make it a criminal offence to send e-mails or text messages unless the recipient has agreed in advance to accept them.

Firms which continue to send junk mail face hefty fines and can even be sued by the recipients.

[domster]

11... very naughty.

Could any further or other approaches please be mentioned to a forum moderator or PetrolTed asap.

I have had a word with Jasmine.

Cheers

I used to get e-mails from Jasmine with massive attached files, on all sorts of things. This including how to update a Boxster, which is about as much use to me as how to knit socks. I phoned them up and asked them to remove me from their mail list as I was not best pleased with having my mail system cloged with huge unsolicited fies.

[majesticproperti]

yep got one

Could you send me the pattern, it's a bit chilly at this time of year
