Lizz Winstanley Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 How can I block the advertising notice in my email from a certain group? I don't have the group on my list! I already block the people who send! How to block just the group to not receive more publicity of this group in my email without having to deactivate the sending of offline emails? They send advertising every 3 or10 minutes! It is very uncomfortable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Macbain Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 You're saying you're getting group notices from a group you aren't a member of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizz Winstanley Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 yes exactly, I receive them through my email, is it possible to block only this group? the group is always the same "* A&P Midnight Mania & LC *" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Macbain Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 So you ARE in the group. You can go into that group's profile and deselect "receive group notices" and you shouldn't get anymore. Or just leave the group if you're not interested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the notice will contain a line telling you the object that sent the notice and where that object is. Go to that location. If it is a subscriber, Unsubscribe. If not, Block / Blacklist the object. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject line says "Message from Second Life" and the text is something like this: The object '.::Secret Sale Sundays::.' has sent you a message from Second Life: <whatever the message is> This person's inbox says "group notice" and it's exactly the same as the ones I get from my groups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the notice will contain a line telling you the object that sent the notice and where that object is. Go to that location. If it is a subscriber, Unsubscribe. If not, Block / Blacklist the object. IF it is a subscrib -O then that "may" work. Unfortunately there are a lot of cagey people that go to great lengths to NOT have the subscirber at the SLURL noted (have no idea "how" they do that). Some also add you to there group manually an "YOU" never joined. Been there a few times. IF all those messages are coming from the same ADDRESS to email, then you could block them in your email program and never see them. IF that isn't an option you can find the owner of the group or subscriber and send a note card asking them to remove you from the group. If that doesn't work, try a second time keeping track of your notecards and dates and be sure an include some text about sending in an abuse report. THAT has worked for me every time. They know they shouldn't be doing this but they do it anyway. Obviously if you are in the GROUP you can turn off emails from that group but that doesn't seem to be your issue. EDIT: There is no group of that name listed in legacy Group Search (and I am guessing the OP etc may need to remove that "damaging personal info" from the thread = blocking out the name of the Group). SO it is likely (really not too sure about this as I have never done it) that this is a mailer that is hooked up with Midnight Mania? And by clicking a Midnight Mania (something I haven't done in years now) you get up on the list? and it looks like that list is open to a lot of folks to post their notices. Just a guess.

I only know because I just opened my spam folder to look at the 11 billion group notice emails that I badly need to delete. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 the group shows up in web search: * A&P Midnight Mania & LC * It may be that there is something wonky in the group notices system. Dunno just might be Lizz, what I would suggest to try is rejoin the group and then leave it again. A bit like turning the power on and off and hope that it fixes the problem and if this doesn't fix it then file a support ticket. In the ticket explain that you are still getting notices from a group that you no longer are a member of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's programmed to do that. I dunno what wonky means but I do believe it's a spam bot automated system. Even though there are a bunch of different offers to see...it's still all automated. Sellers can pay a certain amount of money each week to the spam bots and the bots send out the notices, not even real people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up leaving it and a couple of others some time back because of the constant flood of ads inworld. Which is the reason I don't have offlines sent to email. I get more than my fair share of "regular" junk mail in my email as it is without adding SL junk emails to it.
