Anti-Spam Policy
Spammers Not Welcome Here.
This should go without saying, but we'll say it anyway: it's not OK to spam people. If you try, we will immediately close your Elks Drug Quiz Show account without warning.
Chances are, you already knew spam is bad. And as an email recipient, you know it when you see it.
It's important that as a sender, you know what spam is, too. We'd hate to see you make the mistake of spamming anyone with your content.
So let's talk about what spam is and what happens if you do it at Elks Drug Quiz Show.
What Is Spam?
Ask 10 different people that question, and you'll probably get 10 different answers.
Email senders (like the Elks Drug Quiz Show) tend to use the textbook definition: Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). You can read more about this definition at Spamhaus.
UBE is a useful definition: it points out that some things that might be OK to do on a 1-to-1 basis (like send an email about your company to someone who has never heard of you) are not OK to do in bulk.
But it's not a perfect one. Many things are not UBE but are considered spam by most people, including us.
Instead of trying to create a definition of spam that covers every possible scenario, let's look at a few things that we will consider spamming. We think this will give you a pretty good idea of what not to do.
Things You May Not Do With Elks Drug Quiz Show
- Send email to people who have not specifically requested that information from you.
- Post irrelevant links to your website in discussion forums, newsgroups or classifieds sites like Craigslist.
- Use email lists that you purchased, rented, leased, or in any way bought from a third party. This includes email addresses that you purchased via co-registration.
- Send unsolicited email through a third party in order to try to get people to sign up to your Elks Drug Quiz Show-managed email list, or to visit a website that you market using Elks Drug Quiz Show in any way.
- This includes trying to get people to sign up on an Elks Drug Quiz Show web form that you have placed on your website OR trying to get them to email your Elks Drug Quiz Show email address.
- Batch or in any way try to script the addition of new subscribers to the web form subscribe methods. (You can learn more about this in our service agreement.)
These aren't the only things we might consider spam. But they're a good guide.
