Greetings all PTR WMs....
I know we all (well, most of us :p ) hate searches unless we REALLY need to find something. I don't mind searching for a good cause or if I have time. However, on ALL the PTRs I belong to, I have made it a point NOT to check Search and NOT to check Reference. Yet, at least half the emails I get have at least one search tucked into it somewhere, someone wanting me to sign up as their downline. Some emails come through and they are ALL searches. I thought the whole purpose of NOT checking an interest was to avoid getting emails about that interest. If not, why bother having it????? :\ If you can't figure out how to avoid sending searches to members who don't want searches, PLEASE at least put "Search - cash" or "Search - points" in the subject line and let us make the choice. After I wade through all the top sponsors and non-paid links, I don't want to be rewarded with a $0.001 search link.
The other little sneaky is the mystery/secret link that when you click on it, leads you to a search page. And once there, I feel obligated to search... I also feel tricked and peeved about being tricked. You send me a 1 cent search, I WILL search. ;) You send me a $0.001 search, and I will NOT search.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read.... now click on this link..... :laugh:
