How to stop board email spam?

[palma]

How do I stop these Eurooptic spam emails that are being sent through the forum? The bottom says the following, but I couldn't find any setting in the preferences to change:

This email sent to you because your profile and/or board configuration allows it.
You may change your preferences at any time.

Re: How to stop board email spam?

First off , how is that spam,

You agreed to receiving emails when you signed up, and you agreed again when you re-confirmed the rules less than a month ago.

To not receive emails from the board, as per your agreement you turn it off in your profile not your preferences. Right above your password is a radio button that says this board dents out periodic emails regarding this community. The option is yes or no.

Re: How to stop board email spam?

Even though the Ero Optics e-mail add campaign is Not that an aggressive e-mail Spamming .

I believe that some people try there hardest to stop the flow of ALL random & un-Ask for add campaign e-mails from vendors of any sort, to enter there e-mail Addy . They look @ them as Un-wanted junk mail .
Plus this Ero-Optic E-mail flier has ( Euro Optics on Facebook ) In-tow & FaceBook In-Link/connection to there commercial Add Campaign . And some people look @ FaceBook as just a fleeting moment of Pop Culture & eye-sore on there PC.
.
OK * ( My experience) when openeing the E-mail @ home from the ( Ero-Optic scope Giveaway Contest ) & then punched the link . FACE BOOK was there & I just Deleted it . & There are just going to weird people like me & others who are not going to embrace the E-mail Add Campaign that is sent to there Addy . But I am sure that Micro-% of Non-participants , is figured-in to the Demographic and psycho-graphic profiles with the researchers of FaceBook .

& Has NOTHING to do from the E-mail Add origin of birth or the SnipersHide Site . Do I like nice Glass ? . Sure I do . Who Does Not ?
Do I Dislike the SHsite or EroOptic ? ... NO . but I just got a bad taste in my mouth when I was directed strait to the FaceBook in connection & boom it was gone to the trash-bin .
.
& as I type to Post to connect to this Thread right NOW, I get a ( from Doug @ Camera lands fall clearance Sale, part 3 ) .
AHhhhh the Trilogy-add of Camera land . & You don't see ( Doug @ Camera Land ) linking there E-mails & riddled with FaceBook Links & so I will look @ that one & click-on .
.

Thanks - I didn't see the setting in the profile. Spam for me is any email that I don't want to receive.
