Even if I am flattered being found "interesting", it somewhat bothers me to know that the spammers actually register themselves now to able to send this kind of messages ▲ Collapse

| Action in such cases | Dec 27, 2008 |
Dear Anneli and all who encounter such,
in such cases it is better not to post in the forum, but to notify the Staff via Support Request (or on Holidays- as now) to notify any of jobs' moderators (at any given moment please see who's online):

TOPIC STARTER
I did in fact report the user before posting the message (and I am very grateful to Proz who gives the link for reporting with every PM you get). I just thought it was worth mentioning as usually the spammers are not desperate enough to register on a site.
But thank you and feel free to close/cancel the topic!

Well I just got spammed by proz itself about an incomplete entry in my main language combination in the new GBK glossary. I happen to think the GBK is the dumbest project of 2008... let's just say I did not contribute.
Well at least you can unsubscribe, but I wonder who thought spamming your own users would be a good idea.

If you don't want to receive notifications about GBK questions, you should simply check the option "Ignore glossary-building questions " and click on "Save settings" in the KudoZ dashboard.

Thank you. I already unsubscribed through the link in the mail, though.
The thing is, that message should not have come at all. When I registered at proz the GBK glossary didn't exist so I did not accept to get any emails about it. Unsolicited mail, i.e. spam is not in good taste from a purportedly serious site. It's actually illegal in my country.
