Recently, an unsolicited mass commercial e-mail was received by many collectSPACE members from an individual who was earlier banned from this site for unrelated reasons. He appears to have culled addresses from this message board. This e-mail was immediately followed by another advertisement, this time sent by one of the original mailings' recipients. This sender, a collectSPACE member in good standing, has since apologized.
To remind all members (current and former), at the time you registered you agreed to abide by the rules set forth by collectSPACE. Among these was the warning that "advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate" use of this site, which includes abusing the access afforded to members' e-mail addresses.
Any further abuses of this policy will result in collectSPACE working with the senders' internet service provider to have their e-mail account closed under existing spam protection rules.
To those who contacted collectSPACE out of concern, we apologize for the inconvenience and confusion this may have caused, and will be working to further protect your e-mail address from abuse.
