Affiliate Programs spamming for affs., but their T+Cs say affiliates may not spam

[Catfish]

Isn't it great to receive spam emails from casino and poker affiliate programs you have never heard of, and then you look at their T+Cs, and you read that affiliates are not allowed to spam (I absolutely second a no-spam policy)?
Do those guys really think that a serious affiliate would consider joining a program that obviously has double standards about spamming?

I'm not sure what kind of affiliate program CanAffco runs, but I have been receiving spam from these jerk offs for entirely too long. I have complained on message boards, opted out, sent emails to them, and pretty much anything begging to be removed. Yet they continue to spam me. Anyone else get this garbage from them?

I've gotten spam emails from affiliates as well. Easier to just block the tools. By the way how are you guys defining spam here?

When I get emails from a program that I never had any contact with, I consider it spamming

That's a nice point of view ) Affiliate managers might need to have some magic skills to contact you

[Catfish]

They can join and post here can't they?
Anyway, I am signed up to some 20+ programs now, guess that is enough for now

Agreed. I guess their thinking is that it's worth it to upset some people to catch some extra fish. The way I look at it though Catfish is is that anyone can spam me once and we all get a lot of it but one click of the mouse and you're gone forever and the satisfaction you get from that makes up for the minor inconvenience

Hi,

Affiliate managers are always looking for new affiliates to work with.

As an affiliate what will you suggest to affiliate managers on how to contact you if they want to work with you.
