Stack Social is spamming me 1 emails every 3 minute!

Do not use stack social. They used to be good but they are spamming now. Each email is the same ad. They just change the from address.

Attached is just a small glimpse of what stack social does.

I'm getting the exact same thing.

Hope StackSocial at least apologizes for it.

Hmm, I'm not getting that... But I always thought they were really fishy. Contact their support though, they're really nice.

I got the same thing.

I did as well. Funny thing, is that the only place I have anything related to StackSocial with was cultofmac. Perhaps something is afoot there..

StackSocial email issue has been resolved – here is what you need to know 3

UPDATE (12:15pm PDT): Last night (Thursday, 5/29), our engineering team pushed an update to our backend that introduced a bug that affects the way that we generate email campaigns for StackSocial and our StackCommerce partners.

StackSocial is responsible for managing the eCommerce stores and email lists for multiple publishers, so each day we send out dozens of custom email campaigns. Unfortunately, this particular bug caused all campaigns today to be sent to out to the entire email list.

While we discovered the bug shortly after we pushed our campaigns this morning, we were unable to stop the campaigns from completing, so each subscriber continued to receive emails from StackSocial and various partners even after it was apparent there was an issue.

The bug has now been fixed, and we are committed to ensuring nothing like this ever happens again. On behalf of StackSocial and all of our StackCommerce partners, we sincerely apologize, and take full ownership for screwing up so badly!

Haha I did too.

I just got an apology email from the StackSocial CEO as well.

I got that too. It was a mistake but they apologized. I still like them.
