Continuous "Movie Released" Email Spam.

RopeDrink · 04-20-2009, 07:40 AM

I don't get it...

Every day (For the last 2-3 days) I've been getting email spam telling me "Random Person" has released "Random Movie"... I wouldn't mind only I have not subscribed to any of these authors and are often movies that I have absolutely zero interest in, mostly "LOOK WE KILLED BOSS IN ULDUAR WOO!"

Is this to do with the new Movie Category, maybe? Either way it's getting very annoying and I'm unsure if this is happening to everyone or just me - I've not 'favourited' anyone who releases any of the things being sent to my email, thats for sure.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Just checked my favourited/subscribed list and there was one there which had no name (Just a blank space) - God knows how it got there but I'm hoping that removing it may stop this rubbish.

Just got another one the moment I posted this thread -.-

Hi Ropedrink,
Thanks for the heads up. I have cleaned up the database which contained a couple of wrong entries. You should not get any more notifications of this kind.

Thanks Uzbeki,

I thought maybe it could have been a general bug or I had quite possibly messed up my Sub/Fave's or something, either way it was just out of the blue email spam regarding random people releasing random movies so I thought I'd see if it was a general issue or just me.

Thank you for your effort

A few more users was also affected by this issue. It was a server side bug.
