I found this at my mailbox - i was a littlebit schocked.
I'm also a webmaster but such a mail i will never send to my members, i'm thinking about quitting his program . We have all this problem but acting this way, is unacceptable - what do you guys/gals think ?
here is the mail
********************
I HAVE HAD IT.
STARTING WITH INDIA, YOU WILL ALL BE DELETED WITH 48 HRS. NO ANDS IFS OR BUTS.
REDIFFMAIL.COM EMAIL ADDRESSES YOU ARE GONE TO I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU ARE FROM.
CHINA KEEP IT UP YOU WILL BE NEXT. WELL I JUST LIED YOUR GONE IN A WEEK.
BOTH COUNTRIES - GO AND F#&% YOURSELVES
THIS HAS TO STOP RIGHT NOW! YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALIKG ABOUT.
YOUR GAMES ARE OVER.
NOW FOR THE REST:
ANOTHER THING IS ACTIVES OR SHOULD I SAY INACTIVES:
YOU WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS PROGRAM. BE ACTIVE!
I DON'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON EVERY LINK SENT OUT OR DO A SEACRH LINK, BUT DON'T JUST CLICK IT.
PEOPLE - GAMES ARE OVER.
DON'T LIKE MY ATTITUDE?
THEN UNSUBSCRIBE
CHEATERS, HACKERS, JERKS, IDIOTS, ETC... THIS IS MAKING ME SICK
GET WITH IT PEOPLE OR THIS PROGRAM IS GONE!
I AM NOT KIDDING.
SHocking isn't the word. Good Grief, does he have any members left.
I was very tempted to delete certain e-mails because of spam etc, but i have some very good members from india, and china etc.
I do get a lot of china spam, and quite a few chineese mails have blocked me as a spammer, etc like sina.com , 163.net or com, can't remember
those i did get rid of, but when any of them inquired, i told them they needed to re-sign up with a different e-mail as their isp had the mails blocked...since the mails were blocked, i had no way to inform them.
I don't delete e-mails, even when boxfrog spammed the heck out of me as i seemed to show up in plenty of their members address books, and boxfrog does nothing but spam their members address books.
This guy is a webmaster?
He has no business sense whatsever, and to be prejudicial against all members of a certain country because there are a few troublemakers is a terrible attitude.
First of all a lot of chineese do not speak english, and i believe some are new to computers, they click a link, sign up, have no idea what they actually did.
A few will report a ptr as spamming them, because they don't realize they signed up to receive the mails.
Hasn't anyone heard of tolerance....
They don't mean anything and some have turned out to be fantastic members.
I would hate to loose them all, because of a few bad apples.
And the language (foul) sending that to his memberbase, what in the world was he thinking?
