Well, I'm not so eager to get crap ads or ads that send me to a site other than what the link says. I'm always so careful and in all the years I've had a computer (quickly going on 20), I can count on less than 5 fingers all the times I've gotten a virus or a trojan. I'd like to keep it that way. I'll be unsubbing from the newsletter until they've fixed this. I get enough junk in my inbox and I'm not eager nor willing to get more.
Funny that this has never come up until now when it's "always" been a policy? Frankly, I find that hard to swallow. I think it's new and even if it isn't, it was never mentioned either in the TOS or anywhere else when signing up for the site. And I don't buy the "offers that our members might enjoy" stuff. Who enjoys unsolicited emails? Granted, I signed up for this place years ago, so I don't exactly recall what the terms were when I did, but since the junk email has only recently started (I've gotten two so far), I'm thinking it's something new. If the owners of the site are that hard up for money there are other ways to make it other than driving away members over stuff like this. It's bad enough that we're bombarded by ads when we're on the site - I totally don't want Renderosity bombarding me more in my own, private email box.
That's all I'm gonna say about it anymore. I'm still so disgusted.
