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?

Semi-O/T: Someone signed up my email address to DNC emails… Every email from DNC/Biden/Harris were flagged as phishing emails. Google refused to acknowledge this and still allowed DNC to send stuff to my inbox.

After a couple weeks I decide to unsub from their emails and thankfully no more emails.

If you’re intentionally signing up for newsletters and then flagging them as spam… yeah that’s pretty chitty. Unsubbing normally works.

If you unsub and suddenly get emails from a new address from the same organization, that is absolutely spam.

Me: “Bob, I don’t want to hear from your company anymore.”

Bob: “Okay, you won’t hear from me anymore.”

Jeff, Bob’s coworker: “Hey, we have some great stuff we’d like to tell you about!”

Me: “Fuck off, Jeff, and that goes for all of your and Bob’s coworkers, as well.”

Agreed.

I move unsubscribed emails to different folder, so next time they send me email I don’t feel bad in any way as I can confirm that I did tell them not to send me emails.

I only regret I can’t flag it as spam double time.

That’s probably illegal in your country (and for good reasons). You should report to the correct organization rather than the email client, which only affects their spam filter
