See email for one minor thingy bro   awesome final wording

Alright there James/Si, just a thought... are you able to do this under the new GDPR regs?

[Clubbing Si]

Hiyaaa.  Email was sent with option to unsubscribe etc and we couldn’t know their prefs with out an email, no personal details or 3rd party.  By default all new registrations are Opt Out.
 

believe it ticks all boxes to best of knowledge.  Complex laws but as it direct with all the above believe it’s fine x x

I think the rules stated you had to give people the option to opt out/ delete information 

otherwise every company/ game/ account holder would have details deleted and no access to sites when they changed. 
 

I did get a fair few emails asking me to opt out if I wanted to due to new laws from some old stuff I was on.  
 

 

I fear a lot of the emails maybe lost but who knows there may be some with the same email  

 

[Clubbing Si]

Indeed.   There’s no way to ask people to opt out without asking.   
 

the funny thing is I didn’t delete any.  It may be annoying to get a lot of mail even if each company only sends one but I like having the options to use my accounts.  Haha

Thanks guys - yep, we had to send a one-off email to past members to;

- Let them know we are back online

- Let subscribers know they can unsubscribe or  have their CTW account deleted

We are not intending to spam anyone with emails - in fact all email notifications on the site are switched off by default (although a member can enable email alerts if they want - e.g. if someone follows them, sends them a PM, replies to their thread etc.)

It should be yep, although some members with ‘bad words’ within their email address still cant validate, and we have no way of fixing that it seems.

Love this. Here's hoping we get a few that are still using the same email who fancy a real time trip back into the past with us. 😊
