+janbso Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I want to send an invitation til all the fellow geocachers that have been on a special cache. I made my text and copied that. Then I went to the profile of each of them and pressed "Send email". In the beginning (apron 8 times) went ok. Then I got a message to wait for some time to send more. What is this? There is no possibility to send group-message. Any smart solution? Quote Link to comment

Message Center - Frequently Asked Questions http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=664 Why did I receive a "You're doing that too fast" error? We've put a cap on sending messages too quickly or to too many players to prevent spamming. It's important to us to protect our players from unwanted messaging. If you are blocked, wait at least 20 minutes and try again. Send E-Mail to a User http://www.geocaching.com/email/ How does this work? We respect the privacy of our users. As a result, we allow you the ability to email other accounts through online forms without exposing your email address. In order to reduce abuse, there are a limited number of emails you can send per session, and we may record the IP address from which your message was sent. Commercial emails are not allowed through this tool. B. Edited October 30, 2015 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The one on the email takes longer to revive. Message center I believe is only 15 min. Wouldn't spam be only if you are trying to sell something? Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wouldn't spam be only if you are trying to sell something?I've never thought of "selling something" as the defining characteristic of spam, although a lot of spam certainly is trying to sell something. To me, the defining characteristic of spam is that it is mindlessly blasted to a large audience. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) I want to send an invitation til all the fellow geocachers that have been on a special cache. People watching the cache will get an email when a log is made. It's the smart solution but it's an opt-in smart solution. Edited October 31, 2015 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
