I’m a fan of Spam... at least the kind out of the can. I am not of fan of the electronic variety though.
I’m completely ok with AR trying to bolster paid membership in their quest to keep the site free... I get it!
As a paying charter member I’m not ok though with getting Spam mail from AR asking me to join the Pitmaster’s Club (or share it with friends and family).
Since one of the first things we are told in the canned welcome response from an admin is to add AR to our contacts so emails don’t filter to junk mail then I would trust AR not to send us junk mail.
I hope this is a one off thing and it doesn’t become a regular plea of desperation for more members that continues to hit my inbox.
Also I’m not sure of the stats but don’t spend all of your resources on new member recruitment... you need to also focus on loyal active member retention.
Just a thought.
