Dmx Zone Opt-out Fail

April 08 Comments Category: Findings

I used to use DMX Zone for geeky stuff but haven’t done for ages.

I get their emails regularly.

Today I decided to opt-out.

So – I clicked the link:

–

–

Arrived at this page:

–

DMXzone.COM.jpg

–

I don’t remember my password and all I wanted to do was opt-out.

So their mails are now reported as spam in Googles filter:

–

–

Know what I mean?

  • Hitting the nail on the head. Whilst "brands" want to have their logo emblazoned over every login box it just creates confusion and a feeling that OpenID is not ready for primetime. I guess in an ideal world one's browser would know which provider(s) the reader utilises and only show the likely options - that would be a big step forward IMO
  • So been there and done that whole "Report Spam" opt out routine.

    One nice thing that legislation brought in for NZ users is that NZ companies must provide a simple single click unsubscribe in any emails. You click it, it's gone.

    So easy to do with a URI but so often a failure when implemented.
