Why has Lou been relegated to spamming inboxes???

Nicky Santoro · 10-14-10, 02:20 PM

yeah, i wish he'd really stop that. it is getting annoying as hell. i've got pop up blocker and each time i get that dumb poker email that i care nothing about, i have to click like 9 buttons to remove it. at first it was 1 time each 2 weeks.. now it's a daily thing..

and the worst part is that i have PM's off and i am STILL getting em.. jesus christ.

pls take me off this poker list............. nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

thank you..

brxbmbers42 · 10-14-10, 02:25 PM

seriously. stop sending me those messages lou. ive never played poker in my life and your invites arent going to change that.

DrunkHorseplayer · 10-14-10, 02:26 PM

Get rid of them Lou.

blackbeSSt · 10-14-10, 02:26 PM

dr. lou?

Fishhead · 10-14-10, 02:31 PM

Thanks for the reminders LOU, wouldn't want to miss any of the action, keep the PM's coming.

SBR POKER has been very good.

Thanks pal

Brock Landers · 10-14-10, 02:33 PM

I don't mind PM's. They are easy to delete if unwanted anyway

Keep up the good work LOU/SBR

str · 10-14-10, 02:35 PM

Lou,
It might be a win win if you guys posted the days of the week and times on the front page for all that wanted to play ,to see.Might even generate some new business .
The messages are a bit annoying if you do not care, but I realize that is the policy as of now.
If you put the message near the top and reconfigured the recommended A+ sites their is plenty of room.A colored box like the "download NFL schedule" box would be ideal.
You could also put it on the forum page between the SBR logo and our personal info.
Just a thought.
Thanks.

agree

i like the reminder as well as sometimes i forget about it.

its not that hard to delete a PM just like its not that hard to delete junk emails.

Fishhead · 10-14-10, 02:38 PM

For those that are annoyed by PM's, how in the world do you handle something that is actually devastating when it comes your way??

WOW

If 7-10 extra PMs a week really bothers you alot, I would suggest you seek professional help from a qualified shrink.

This. Fishhead is razor sharp.

dmtrader · 10-14-10, 02:43 PM

Lou is just doing his job - promoting events at SBR

Nicky Santoro · 10-14-10, 02:44 PM

i can understand some like this, but for guys like myself and many others who dont want to be bothered about poker games, why send it to us??

why not have an option? put a link on top of the forum and say if you want to be a part of this to have them send PM'S to you.. if you are not on this list, leave us alone

it really is annoying for me cause i have to press like 9 buttons to get rid of it, and now it's each day and i don't give a shit about poker tournaments etc....

take me off this list please. thanks

str · 10-14-10, 02:44 PM

Jeez Fishead,
Just trying to make everyone happy.
Not bitching personally but I would think a better alternative might exist.

i get your point and a opt out option is needed

stealthyburrito · 10-14-10, 03:54 PM

lou deserved better then this.

ProfaneReality · 10-14-10, 04:04 PM

i appreciate the reminders

I never thought the day would come, but here we go: I finally agree with Fishy.

Seriously guys, get some bloody perspective in your lives. PT has turned into an even bigger cesspool than normal since football started and now people are bitching about a few PMs? For every one of you who are devastated by the 6 seconds it takes to delete them, there would be 2 more people starting a thread bitching because they kept missing poker tournaments if the PMs didn't exist. The opt-out list is a great idea, but whether or not SBR implements it, it really shouldn't be that big of an annoyance in your daily lives. If so, I'll gladly trade spots with you in a second.

str · 10-14-10, 06:24 PM

Let's have Lou send us reminders when the one o'clock Sunday games start.
Would not want to miss one.

If you care about it,remember!

Heh, I just have to press 1 button to get rid of it - the 'CANCEL' button. I don't have a popup blocker installed. I use Google Chrome. Perhaps you should ditch your popup blocker if you have to press 9 buttons?

thisisit · 10-14-10, 06:41 PM

F them all LOU you are doing GODS work thanks for everything

Slim · 10-14-10, 06:48 PM

Take me off the list.

unreal, shari

i'm not bitching or complaining, just wondering why such a good guy gets a shit job like sending generic pms to everyone.

Dirty Sanchez · 10-14-10, 08:55 PM

All Lou has to do is drop the hammer on you complainers...problem solved

Lou does a lot around here. Sending those PM's is about 0.0000000000001% of his workload. Sometimes I get the feeling he could run the place by himself if need be.

You realize all SBR members receive the poker PM simultaneously when he hits send, right?

I don't think she was talking to you, then.

As for Lou, I don't think you need to worry about him.

You think he personally PMs everyone? It takes almost no time to send a message to everyone about poker. I'm sure SBR could have any mod do it and it's not like it would be an extra burden on them. Lou happens to be around a lot so he can do it.

Yeah I kinda figured. It would be funny if someone thought he had to send them individually, or cc them in bunches of 20.

pavyracer · 10-14-10, 09:17 PM

He sends one PM per week. If you don't like it you can leave. SBR has enough point moochers anyways.
