Awesome Ownage by TGF, too funny Options

[OutToDry]

I have to share this. Someone joined tgf to complain to the guys over facebook lists!!! This is classic and I am laughing my ass off!!


DMD: Just signed up here to ask how DARE you use your email listfrom Live to promote TGF!? I signed up to get news about LIVE - not a new, totally unrelated band. I removed myself from the mailing list and am COMPLETELY unhappy with whomever decided to send something unrelated to my email without my permission. That is NOT what I signed up for!



The Gracious Few Well Desiree, Chad, Patrick and I own this list and we will use it any way we see fit. You have removed yourself and that is fine with us. Do us a favor, stop crying about LIVE and grow up!
Rock on!

The "technical" issues for the unsubscribe are ultimately a separate point but absolutely belong to the 3rd party service provider if something isn't working properly. knowingly spamming somebody who is trying to opt out is when the potential foul play comes in to it but I highly doubt this was the case and I would guess that if the issue was known, the service provider would have done their due diligence to resolve the issue in a reasonable amount of time.

As far as using their list for other avenues, it is preposterous to suggest that TGF isn't Live related. Most fans of any band would want to hear about solo/side projects and other bands that members or former members are involved in, and unless otherwise stated, C,C & P have every right to network utilizing their fan-list to promote a new endeavor. This is the value of owning a and retaining mailing list! Are they just supposed to simply sever all ties with Live fans and start from zero? Ridiculous. Her initial reaction was not about the unsubscribe but rather the fact that they had the nerve to send their fans content on TGF. Really??? Sorry, that just isn't the way it works.

People in marketing/business channels leave jobs or situations all the time and when they have the right to do so, they will take their networking contacts and mailing lists with them to their next opportunity. This situation doesn't even begin to embark on that level.
