Spock.com spam

If anyone got spammed allegedly with invitations from me to Spock.com, it wasn’t me. Apparently Spock blew it’s gasket and mailed everyone that was even vaguely connected to any associated profile. Stupid, moronic design. Sorry, if anyone got tagged.

Hi,

This is Maia, from Spock. We apologize for this mix-up. As part of our sign-up process, there is a checkbox to invite all of your contacts to Spock. After the checkbox, there is a pop-up that ensures that you want to invite all your contacts. Our logs show that when you signed up, the checkbox was selected to invite all of your contacts. Itâ€™s possible you overlooked this checkbox and pop-up, opting in to invite your contacts.

We are not trying to spam your contacts, as we thought we had your permission. Your contacts will not be e-mailed again.

Again, we apologize for this inconvenience. Weâ€™re working to make sure this doesnâ€™t happen again. We never e-mail your contacts without your authorization. Because of your comment, we are going to make this feature more apparent in the UI. Our engineers are already working on the change.

Best,
Maia
