That asshole who spammed everyone with his listings for fake hash products over on SR pretty much shows what would happen if you allowed unregulated and uninvited PM Spam Blasts from vendors, or anyone.Quote from: friendlyoutlaw on December 23, 2011, 11:48 amPerhaps SR could implement a feature where you "subscribe" to a vendor. This would put all of the power in the hands of the consumer, while still enabling vendors to reach out to interested parties.So, let's say I subscribe to Anarcho47.Then, he has a new group buy at crazy prices and he wants to get the word out. So, he would access a link to post a message to his subscribers, which they would get as private messages.Perhaps you could even have an option to "Notify me when Vendor provides a new listing"...and perhaps that feature would, by default, ignore any listings that contain the string "custom" so people don't get hit with a bunch of meaningless custom orders. Man, this would seriously kick ass. This is one place where I _do_ want to get "spammed"...Not a bad idea at all, if a way could be designed to ensure that they don't spam or otherwise annoy folks with it.There is also of course the Product Offers forum, where most vendors currently make their announcements.
