has anyone else had an email from UK Net Guide (who are the same as crystal guides answerbank) I have had a few, all to previous dothawkes ids on here, one even to my dot.hawkes id email, addressed to dot.hawkes, and of course that id is my biggest bone of contention because after 25,000+ replies it was zapped (accidentally on a permanent basis when it was meant to be a suspension)

Why are these now none usable email addresses registered with AB still being used for cold call advertising?

good question. Obviously the website refuses to deal with shady people like Dot Hawkes but the advertising side of it has no scruples about who it emails. This is typical of business in general where the front desk is selective and highly principled and the backroom boys have no morals at all.
I suspect that after 25,000+ looney dot.hawkes posts people were sick of your f@cking rants. Good bl00dy job I say.
I have had a few emails......so...??????

Mr Jolly, i have not posted a thread about being zapped, but thanks for your delightful contribution, your dislike of my ab presence is noted, BTW, not exactly an apt name for you is it?
Hi dot.

Smarmy mare here. (well that's what you called me.)

How are you?
Question Author
hi jno, lol

pasta, do you mean you have had a few of the same email but to the present ab id you have and also previously deleted ones? or do you mean just the various emails they send and all to your current one?

I am asking why the old email addys used to register on ab are still active when the ids were zapped.
Sorry dot, let me answer your questions properly.

"has anyone else had an email from UK Net Guide"
yes, everyone has.

"Why are these now none usable email addresses"
because your diction is shocking and nobody knows what the hell you are going on about.

Happy now?????????
MrJolly.

Don't be so mean to dot. It was just a question & this IS the AB.

You shouldn't tell her how & what to post. Leave her alone.

jno did, maybe you are just being awkward and difficult and quite rude because you just don't like me, this is what i wrote:

If my diction is hard to read by some people , fair enough, but how did it warrant a personal attack?
I always found Dot Hawkes to be rather jolly.

I've not had those emails, but I do get emails offering me pills that will make my penis 3" bigger (!) and increase my "volume" by 500% (!!!)

Their advertising tag should be ... "You haven't slept in a wet patch until you've slept in one of OUR wet patches" LOL

These come to me, even though my email address includes my name "jayne"

Maybe they think I'll buy them and slip them in someone's coffee, LOL

(ooh, that's tempting, actually)



Dot, when you register each username with AB you provide an email address to validate that new id. Just because the id has been zapped doesn't change the fact that uk netguide have it and will continue to send you emails, one for every email address you used to register here with.

was that better??????????????????
Why not click on the unsubscribe link. Hey presto! No more e-mails.
Question Author
It was better thank you (not as good as JJ's though but lol).

However, my main issue is that I am not over happy that the emails are being used when I cannot use them on AB, that maybe did not come across in my OP.

Anyhew, I have emailed the ed (predictably) and asked why this is happening and hinted that i may be a tad annoyed about it, (in a non aggressive, non patronising, non confrontational way)
Question Author
carrust I think i would need to be able to sign in with the old id to be able to do that, unless you mean on the actual email, i will go look in the hotmail and see if i can find where to do that, thanks.

I would still like to know why they are still active for crystal guides though, when it is zapped by ab.

Good for you, dot.

Dot has emailed the Ed ...

... tumbleweed ... ...



... ... ... silence ... ... ... more tumbleweed ...



... cobwebs start to appear in Dot's Inbox ...



... distant chapel bell clanging ...



... ... ... ... more tumbleweed ... ...
If a user name gets banned it's a sure bet that the email address you registered it with will be banned also. That is an AB issue. As for netguide using your address when YOU cant use it to register a new username, you did tick the
" Yes, I would like to receive the Answerbank Facts & Trivia Newsletter and Newsletters from UKNetGuide" box when you registered, giving them permission to bombard you with crap emails forever regardless of whether or not AB has seen fit to ban it.

The e-mails I get go to my junk box. Open the e-mail, & at the bottom there's a unsubscribe link.
i believe when you join you are agreeing to this junk mail.

therefore wether you use ab or not or are banned or not

you will receive junk mail automatically

hardly a reason to get anymore grey hairs over dot


chill
eve all had them



take a chilll pill or a vodka and just reeeeeeeeeeeelax
Dot.

It's good that you're not being confrontational, patronising, & aggressive.

Or being personal. (Especially the personal stuff!)

Long may it last.
