Hi,
I have not been a member at Tesa's for over a year(I believe) now. Out of the blue, in the last 24 hours, I have been receiving tons of emails(paid mails for members) from the site. Is there any way to get them to stop coming to me?
Thanks in advance.
Here's what happened. A while back, after I canceled a bunch of clickers (rather than ad readers) who'd clicked too many cheat links the site got hit with DDoS attacks. Rather than close the site, our host came up with the idea to change the names of some pages so the site would still work but the disgruntled clicker couldn't get to us. That worked for a little while and we had to change again. On the 3d change, the attacks stopped and we went back to regular business. Problem with it was that either not all members got the message to edit the names of some of their pages or they didn't know what I meant when I told them what to do, they were unable to access the areas of the site they needed access to and thousands went inactive as a result.
So, recently, we went back to the real names for the pages and I've been unsuspending ther accounts and sending emails in hopes of getting them to come back to us. The ones whose account was set to Inbox Only would never know about this so as I manually unsuspend each of the 2400 accounts that were still here, I change the email delivery such that members would know we're still here and could again access the site. The way I did it was to set all the accounts, as I get to them, to Inbox and email delivery.
So far, it seems to be working as we now have 2500+ members as opposed to just under 2000 a couple weeks ago. Sure hope I'm up to the task when we get back up to 4-5 thousand members increasing my workload. Hope so.
