  Does sending someone 3 PMs over a period of 7 days or even 5 days contitute to spamming a person's inbox? The messages are non-threatening and not aggressive in nature.

  I would consider it spamming,  yes, especially if you have already requested them to stop, but they still persist.

    Presumed unsolicited mah!  If you are expecting the mail, why would you complain that it's spamming your mailbox leh?

  If it is not the same msg it is not considered spamming

  Or you clearly specified that a reply is necessary, it is not spamming either but reminders.

  thats exactly what i told them. If they all comply and all doing according to the specifications n we getting the results . Cause its simple. I look at graph and results. If its not looking the way that its supposed to be. As in a downward trend. lol.. somewhere someone is not doing what they are supposed to be doing.  Until then. the SPAM continues.  lol. Then someone suggest i identify the source n SPAM the source instead of everyone. lol

  But i know it can be sien. Cause i also get that kind of message from top down anyways.  I even CC to them all what up come down. haha..

  Hi guys, thanks for your replies. No, it's not work related. I'm pretty clear where work is concerned. It's more like PMs within sgforums.

  What if the person only requested after the 2nd msg, and the 3rd msg was to clarify a misconception the person had?

  So long as you know you're in the clear and you're doing your job, I guess it's ok. The people you are chasing should also understand the reasons behind why you are chasing them.

  Must chase, otherwise some critical issues or certain things cannot be done. End of the day, everyone just wants things to be done.

  Nope, not the same message. I never specified that a reply was necessary either.

  One can easily write a bot to send a pm to you every 30 seconds (assuming there's a time limit too, not sure if there is).

  Thus within 1 hour, can send 120 pms to you.

   

  That is then called spam.
