Posted October 29, 2011 There has been a recent surge in users reporting forum e-mails as Spam. When you report a forum e-mail (such as a PM notification) as Spam, your e-mail provider may send a notice to the forum's host, and when that occurs, I am required to block your e-mail address from the forums. This happens most frequently with Windows Live and Hotmail. In the past, I have dealt with this by working with individual users to replace the e-mail addresses. However, the volume has become so large that I will now be interpreting Spam reports as a clear indication that you no longer wish to have an account and will ban any forum account for which I receive such a report, as well as blocking the e-mail address from being used. Given that I am required to take action by my host, these bans with typically be non-negotiable. Instead of reporting e-mails as junk or spam, please configure your forum e-mail settings in the User CP. To be clear: This only applies to the forums, not the main DC site.

Posted October 29, 2011 I don't have to worry about marking my E-Mails as spam... I've got a filter set so that any message I receive from Dragon Cave goes into its own folder. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 Me too Mew_1 I have my special little "dragon cave" folder Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 >> I have lost which email I used for my account...this is bad x.x Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 ...I don't understand. Is it bad that DC Forum notifications go straight into my spam mail? Or is it reporting things that you get? If it's the first one, I'll immediately change it (if so, I had no ides) Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 o-0 DC never goes to spam. /prods volumes of reports Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 I'm not entirely sure whether any emails from DC would go into spam. I haven't had a mail from here in a long time, and I'm not entirely sure how to use my email account anyway. Can someone give me a quick run through of how to ensure that my emails end up where I want them to? I use Yahoo. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 But they don't need to make that knowing that they can configure the settings so they don't receive mails. Someone knows when a mail is spam and when keeps being mail? (?) Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 oh, sorry, my cave messages go to spam automaticly although I did not mean for it to do that... (instantly changes settings) Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Wait what if these actually happen to be accidental? I've messed up a couple times and do that but I usually fix them when they get marked and I use them. Edited October 29, 2011 by demonicvampiregirl Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 Yea... I use gmail as well and I have my dc mail to auto go to my spam/junk folder because I get so many PMs that it floods my inbox... will that effect my account? Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 I'm not entirely sure what the issue is or what people are doing that's causing said issue. I get reply notifications in the DC forums, but I never check them. I don't make them be treated as junk mail if that's what the problem is. I just delete the posts and go on with life. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 That is what it should look like to have compleate protection from emails from DC forums. Just wanting to show it for people who might be more vissual. I didnt even know that we got emails from the main cave. Share this post Link to post

Posted October 29, 2011 I don't get anything other than PM notifications, which I delete immediately. I don't even know enough to set up spam folders... LOL. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Thanks I use my spam account for forums, so I probably have a 100+ inbox Edited October 29, 2011 by ghb523 Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 In the past I know I've found what I assume are copies of DC PMs in my Junk mail box, generally just keep marking them as not-junk when I find them, but this just seems to be the odd time, as I get and have tons of DC notifications in my regular mail, so don't know what's up with that... That isn't auto-reported, is it? I'm afraid I often don't check my emails often, especially this past while. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 Good to know. Disabled any option that lets out e-mails to my hotmail adress. This should solve the issue right? Bisous Share this post Link to post
Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Yea... I use gmail as well and I have my dc mail to auto go to my spam/junk folder because I get so many PMs that it floods my inbox... will that effect my account? I use Yahoo! the same way. Someone send me a PM so I can unmark it as spam, please! I can't figure out how to unmark it as spam otherwise! Thank you so much! It's fixed now!
