Guild Mail
Late 2005 Neopets added a feature to guilds where neomails were sent out to guild
members.
- For guild leaders, everytime a user joined their guild they received a neomail
saying "[so and so] has just joined your guild"
- For guild members, they were added
to an automatic guild neomailing list that guild leaders could neomail in order to contact
their entire guild
A few months after this feature was released The Neopets Team decided to make it a
feature that you could turn off if it became annoying, ie: if the feature was being
abused by guild leaders OR if there were lots of people joining the guild everyday!
Basically this page will explain how the HelpYourNeopet Guild will use the feature and
general FAQ about Guild Mailings.
Won't I receive guild mailings automatically?
No, as explained above guild mailings have become a subscription or 'opt-in' feature of
guilds. If you decide you'd like to receive guild mailings all you need to do is go to
your 'Site Preferences' page and
check the box: "Enable Guild Mailings" and then click the 'Change Your Details' button.
How often will HYN send guild mailings?
There isn't a lot of information that needs to be sent out to guild members that they can't
just grab themselves from the guild message board or from the news section on the guild
front. So I can safely say that once a week would be the absolute maximum but in
reality you'll be lucky to receive one once a month.
What sort of things will HYN neomail me about?
We'll only neomail about big stuff, like if there's a big giveaway or something else
terribly interesting coming up. Or, on occassion a little reminder about the guild rules;
its nicer to remind everyone than just telling one person! And when I've used it in the
past I've let everyone know how successful one of the terrible interesting things was :)
Will I be able to stop receiving the messages?
Yes! It's just a matter of going back to your 'Site Preferences'
page and unchecking the box and then clicking the 'Change Your Details' button.
