Default New guy... invasive ads in my email is bad.

Hi. I just signed up for the second time in the last 20 years..... I am a the guy who makes your paycheck work. I design software. Or I did until a few years ago when I retired. So I know how to make PC talk to Mainframe and vice versa. IF you ever got a paycheck that said "adp" on give me a thumbs up. I made that happen.
So why so much invasive ads coming into my email? I know it's because I signed in here. LS! Tech is selling your information. I know. I did it for a living.

No junk mail prior to now? Was this a brand new e-mail address?

We don't sell email addresses. I can also say that because, before getting involved, I had/have a personal account on this site with a personal email address. It does not get spam.

The emails we send are either email notifications (which you can control via the UserCP) and we do have email promotions/advertisements (which have the Unsubscribe/Manage preferences in the email footer).

Yes. Lots of junk mail and now getting spam calls too. All after signing up to this website. It's really bad. I might have to go.

We don't collect phone numbers. It's not part of the registration process.

I think you need to look elsewhere for the cause of your spam issues.

You can say that, but you have no idea what your servers scrape and send. JFYI. 30 years in the biz.

We don't collect phone numbers on our Registration page. So we couldn't be the source of your spam calls. I suppose you could have supplied it in your profile, if you really wanted, but that's not on us. The number couldn't exist on our servers unless someone supplied it.

You nave no idea how it works. Others are bypassing all the walls you have . That is how they get this info. I know. Because they offer huge pay to "hack" all websites like yours And I wrote the code to hack stuff. Duh. LOL I'm old. I am tired of games now. Just want to deal with a car.. So shut the **** up. OK?

So they hack our site to get your phone number, a phone number we wouldn't have unless you supplied it to the site?

Stop the rumors and unfounded claims and stick to the cars. OK?

Markstransam,

LS1Tech offers a wealth of information for any true 4th gen F-body enthusiast, and is home to some of the best and brightest Gen III/IV LS folks on the internet. We do hope that you enjoy your time here, however it has come to my attention that you've made several unnecessarily aggressive/offensive/inappropriate posts in the last few days. This is not a good look, especially for a brand new account. Even if you were a member before, this new account is quickly headed into troll status if replies such as the above (and some others in the last couple days) are not tempered with a more appropriate tone for the discussion. Please consider this when making any further posts on the site.

Thanks,
-Admin.
