WeeklyChoice.com Anti-Spam Policy
Spam is strictly prohibited. If you spam, your account will be terminated immediately and you will be ineligible for a new account.
Spamming, or the sending of mass, unsolicited email, is an unequaled time-waster. It takes time to download, sort through, and identify junk mail, and then it takes time to discard it. Spam is not just unethical, it doesn't work. Spamming merely labels your website as inexperienced and irresponsible. Anti-spamming legislation has already taken effect in more than a dozen states in the U.S. and in several countries around the world.
If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please forward all relevant evidence to webmaster@WeeklyChoice.com.
