Many of you have promotions on this and other sites. I just wanted you to know, that I don't respond to many of them not because of the products, but because of the spam. Sign-up for a drawing on a light or a pump and the next day I have 200 emails from others who did the same. You need to find a way on this tyep of thread to inactivate the email notifications.
Thanks for listening.

All you have to do is unsubscribe from the thread after you post on it. You can find that under "thread tools" when you have the thread open.

You can also set it so you do not get notifications sent to your email, R2R is the one who sends them not the vendors. You can find that setting in your profile, I made mine so that I only get them on my dashboard on R2R and not email.

+1 This is what I did.

So to benefit the advertisers, there are steps I have to take to avoid the spam? I will use the unsubscribe approach or just not post on those type of threads. Or maybe just putting the advertiser on my ignor list is the best?

It's not really a matter of "benefit" and/or "spam", but rather of forum settings which are specified/controllable by you.

Again EVERY single thread that you comment on or subscribe to will send you email notifications. It has nothing to do with the vendors spamming you, getting email notifications is the default option on R2R.

It's like the other guys are saying. On any forum you join, you control the notification settings (whether you get an email, a notification in the site dashboard, or no notification at all). R2R defaults to sending you updates on any thread you are subscribed to. It's really easy to change it. This has nothing to do with "benefiting", "advertising", or "spamming." If you think about it, it really doesn't benefit the vendor for you to see when others respond to the thread. All you have to do is change your settings (go to settings by clicking the "settings" link in the top right corner of this page, then scroll down and select "general settings" on the right side of the page, then adjust your "Messaging and Notification" settings to whatever you prefer...I simply changed my "Default Thread Subscription mode" to "Through my control panel only"). If you will do that, it will change the setting for all future threads you comment on. HTH
