There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it.

I login, hit unsubscribe, then report as spam in my email client.

I figure auto adding me is more/less spamming me. Do y’all agree?

HubertManne ,

certainly not. its up to them to protect their repuation by right action. they should not have added you to something after you said you don't want anything from them.

I applied to a job with a hotel once, now they send me regular emails about other unrelated jobs. But to unsubscribe I have to log in, and apparently applying to the job didn’t create a complete profile so I’d have to create an account just to unsubscribe.

They’re marked as spam now.

No …He’ll no. That’s spam. Some of those newsletters likely come from unscrupulous sources that will instead use the “Unsubscribe” link as an engagement metric that confirms your email account is still active so they can bombard you with even more spam. You’re just doing your part at keeping the spam filter up-to-date
