eRomano Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Like many of you, I registered for "GNR e-mails" on gunsnroses.com after reading Sanctyary's press release entitled: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE "CHINESE DEMOCRACY" NORTH AMERICAN TOUR AND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ADVANCED MEDIAAfter registering, I started to receive many MLB.COM e-mails:"Take 15% off all personalized products!" 10/03/2006"In all Series-ness, the fun has begun" 10/05/2006"DHL presents the MLB Delivery Man of the Year Award. Vote and you could win!" 10/06/2006"World Series gear is here! Plus, take an additional 20% off our outlet" 10/10/2006"The ALCS begins at 8 p.m. ET. Tune in on FOX" 10/11/2006And received zero GNR related e-mails.Am I the only one who is receiving all those MLB.COM e-mails and no GNR related e-mails?

jack99 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Same here! All I've received is MLB mails with ads and various discount offers.... Although I didnt have very high expectation about updates from gunsnroses.com when I signed up, I'm very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaTricky Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Isn't there an anti spam law in the US? Because I received those emails, too. And I'm pretty sure I only signed up for "commercial emails from gunsnroses.com". But I got a lot of mails from "lists.mlb.com".Anyway there is this part at the end of the emails "You received this message because you registered to receive commercial e-mail messages from MLB.com. If you no longer wish to receive commercial e-mail messages from MLB.com, please click here to unsubscribe."So I unregistered. Not that I registered in the first place. Please tell me when there is a GNR related email. I hope to receive it. Because I subscribed to that list and never unsubscribed from it.If there are GNR email please tell me what's the address of the sender. If that is different from "lists.mlb.com", but you can only get mails from both lists "lists.mlb.com" will simply go to my spam folder".Has somebody read the complete "Terms of use" and "privacy policy". I only had a short look but I couldn't find anywhere taht subscribing to "gunsnroses.com" email lists included subscribtions to other lists like "lists.mlb.com" or any other third party lists. If this isn't mentioned somewhere they might get sued for sending spam mails or using private data otherwise than authorised (at least in Germany, that would work). I won't do that, but anyway here we have another time GNR might end up at court thus giving them another reason to delay CD ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesire78 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) I never even got a update on the added concert Dec. 20 in L.A that sucks I think I might email MLB and tell them that. I don't mind reading thier junk mail if i get some good GNR email but otherwise forget it Edited October 11, 2006 by chesire78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmygod Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 but when gnr do have something to say, release date etc., im sure it'll get sent to all mlb fans who are apart of mlb.com, so in the end it will pay off pretty good because so many people not aware of gnr will begin to recieve e-mails.seriously whats the big deal abot gettin junk emails?

axlslash Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It's not spam. It's a commercial partnership. You had the option to click off commercial emails when you signed up, that's why you get them. The GNR mailinglist, as a result of the partnership, sends you MLB-related emails. MLB sent out GNR presale announcements, allowing both sides to promote each other WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING TO PROMOTE. GNR announced the tour, but have done nothing of note since. When the fanclub opens, tour kicks off, merch becomes available, etc, you will get more information as needed.Until then, just click off commercial emails or don't read the ones you get.
