Stop with the advertisements in IMs

This is like the 8th time. I know what is up with you and you do not fool me.

I will review a product when possible only. Nothing else sorry. I will not let you manipulate me.

Our goal is not to "manipulate" you, merely nudging you to update the ISP review(s) you previously lodged. Being that the site is based on broadband, and its roots come from finding the best internet service for you, it makes sense that we'd like your reviews. Good, bad and ugly. The opinion of your ISP may help another member, or anonymous visitor in making a decision or solving a problem.

The system notices should be quite infrequent, maybe once a year if that?

It is more than once a year.

Sabotage is surely happening and I have the evidence to prove it. There is no way I would never notice. The sabotage does not surprise me. It is funny how it stands out so much. I am not stupid.

6 months after the last review.

I'm not sure if the nagging continues if you don't update. Maybe it just stops. I have always updated within a few days after the nag and never got a second nag - until 6 months later.

It does continue, I still get them from time to time on reviews that I haven't touched in years. I just couldn't remember how often they came in.

I haven't updated my ISP review since 2007, and the reminder PMs come every 3 months for me.

Cancel your account and you won't get nagged anymore. Worked for me.

EXACTLY... I can't remember either, definitely not more than twice a year... hardly annoying enought to start a thread over. I mean look, at this amazing resource Justin has provided us all pretty much for nothing... is a gentle nag now and then, really that BIG an irritation?

I think you should be able to make 3 easy payments of 5.99$ to make the spam stop. Everyone should have this option!

Re: Stop with the advertisements in IMs

Happen again just now. Here is an exact copy of the message:

quote:
Just a friendly note to thank you for your continued support of the site.

We hate nag screens, so this reminder is being sent as a system message.

Would you consider reviewing a broadband service of some kind? Your VOIP service, your ISP, or even a web host you use.

You can enter the review via this link: »/reviewit
We also plan to add the ability to review HARDWARE and HOTEL BROADBAND so please check back soon

Please stop.

If it is that upsetting to you, then do as someone else suggested and close your account. Otherwise, man-up, hush-up, and get on with your life. Maybe even consider participating and contributing something useful to assist others instead of whining.
