IBobi, hang your head in shame. You of all people, as an administrator, should know better than that.
If someone started forum posts like:
"Remove this from your refrigerator immediately"
"3 Signs you have a fatty liver"
"How to: get rid of deep fat from your belly"
"Veterinarian: add this one thing to your dog's food to help them be healthier"
"Power wash for your insides"
They would be instantly banned. These are all actual emails I received from RCU. None of that clickbait trash has any relevance to my hobbies.
This spam had me thinking that your servers were compromised or someone had been spoofing your emails, but if this is legitimately from your marketing department, that's just plain insulting.

I used to love RCU, it was the best! Then something changed, every one started complaining and leaving. I still check in and lurk some but something has been lost. I was hoping for a recovery but this new bizarre junk email stuff is a bad sign. I'll still look in now and then but will now mark RCU emails as spam.
Huh,, what happened to this place?

The emails are legitimate and were sent by RCU.
You can opt out by clicking the "unsubscribe" link on the bottom of any email.
Sending these emails allows RCU to remain a free site. Please enjoy it!

For 15+ years I have gotten RC Universe emails without complaint or having any thought of unsubscribing. That ends today. I don't need junk email with click-bait subject lines coming from forums I trust - I get plenty of that already from scammers and spammers.
