I've sent them before. I had to on Rawr all the time, seeing as it was my job.. I didn't really like it though. I had to send a quiz about every month.
The thing that bothers me is mass e-mailing. I have no idea why, I just don't want forum news in my inbox. It drives me insane.
Though, I do have an experience with mass PMing that made me mad. I'm not naming the forum though..
I joined a forum to continue a post exchange while the owner left for personal reasons, seeing as it was a trick.. and she came back, I didn't have to do it anymore. So I never posted. One week later, I get a PM about inactivity.
I PM them back saying, I really had no intention on joining the board unless I needed to help the owner with something, and there really isn't a point for me to have an account anymore, so you can just delete it. I also told them not PM me again on my inactivity.. because I was never going to be active there. Soon, I start getting PMs every freaking day. This was from an administrator!! I expect a little more class out of them, so I PM a different admin asking them to please have their staff not harrass me on my inactivity. They PMed me back saying it wasn't going to happen, so I asked them to delete my account. They refused to do it, and they were rude about it. Lets just say, I'm glad that board is closed now.
