Why am I getting so many (possibly duplicate) emails?

Open invite events are posted here as well as on Facebook (and sometimes MySpace and other sites) as a way to bring in new members or to simply offer a one time activity to the general masses. If you RSVP for an event on MySpace, Facebook, AND here at the official site you will end up with 3 emails for every announcement related to that event. If you are registered here there is no need to register on a Facebook event page as well. This does not mean you shouldn't join the Facebook group (and MySpace and IE Global groups) to show your support- join the GROUP but don't respond to a Facebook EVENT unless you don't mind getting double emails. Open events allow invitation forwards to your friends' directly from this site- so there is no need to get on Facebook or MySpace to forward the invitation if you know their email addies.

If you do not wish to receive emails from BostonSOS.org but wish to remain registered in order to comment on events and get in touch with other members you can select the Opt-Out option when you register or afterwards by editing your account details. Simply select "My Account" after logging in then "Edit"- scroll down and select Opt Out and submit your changes. After this you will only get emails if you respond to an invitation. If you respond to any invitation you will be marked as a participating member and will automatically receive updates on that and possibly some other events. If you do not want to be in the know simply ignore invitations and you will not receive any emails at all.
