About 2 weeks ago, I wrote support and asked if there was a way to message the people in my community. Their response was, no, but they had no problem with me offering a contest. Next thing you know, they have a new option and people are spamming their blog posts all over the place. I get around 5 messages a day of people pushing their idiotic posts, and soliciting readership and visitors. Has anyone else noticed, and what do you think? I think it just cheapened the platform.
Yeah it's like a bulletin feature on myspace except it goes to where your comments are, very annoying.
Yes, many people are annoyed by the new feature. Hopefully they will make a separate system for it like myspace bulletins are or they will give the option to turn off bulletins in their comments.
I have stopped myself from looking at my message box, too much spam! And when I tried reporting it, it redirected me to a mailto: page so I am not bothered to report. It'd be nice if they implement a better reporting system
