EEK! TNT Mailbombed me. O_o

[valerielundberg]

Just logged in today to see this in my neomail:

Dear ValerieLundberg,

Your Neopian Times submission (Confessions of a Hungry Kadoatie) was rejected because we had too many good entries in this category this week and there wasn''t enough room for them all. Please try again next week.

That in itself isn't suprising. This is about the 7th week I've submitted that story to get that same response.

What is odd, is they sent me that letter....erm....*counts*

18 times.


Anyone else having multiplicated response issues from TNT? I might have gotten sent more, but they maxed out my mail.

I hope it's a glitch, because I really don't want to think my short story for the NT was *so* bad they had to reject 18 times this round, hehehe.

Whoa, that's crazy, but quite funny - you should report them for spamming

LOL...yeah. *tattles* Snowflake is spamming me, that's it...LOL!

Anyhow, here's a screenie of it (I made it clickable instead of stretching the screen today). Pretty funny when you look at it. I know I feel bad that I sent it seven times for approval in the NT and was rejected, but that's like...7 times over the last month and a half or so, not in one day. LOL.

Screenie (Wow, look at them mails! Hahahaha.) :

The time stamps are what's odd about it...*stares at screenie* Look at when each one was sent, quite a difference.

No, you're not the only one, I heard someone else had that happen to them too. They got something like 20 rejection letters. I think they said it happened to them last week too.

thats nice that they send u neomails. I would have thought that they would have just left it. I was wrong

[RedMist]

Funny thing is i cant get emails on my roadrunner email account. Ive never gotten a Neopets email there.. I wonder if RoadRunner has neopets blocked?

if so how would we get around that if there was a way? hmmm

[Erin]

You know, I might be making this up, but I do believe TNT has mentioned that Roadrunner email addresses can't receive Neopets emails. Can't remember for sure... *scratches head*

Anyway, all you'd have to do is create a new email address using a different provider (Yahoo, Hotmail, whatever) and then change it on your Neopets account...

[luckystar101]

yeah go to the wall of shame and it says that roadrunner emails wont be emailed to

[Puck102701]

That sounds incredibly annoying. Maybe you can email them saying there's a glitch or something... I know, bad advice.

I saw someone posting on the Neochatboards this morning that they had gotten the rejection neomail 60 times... but as we can see Neo is very glitchy at the moment so I'm sure it was not on purpose. Obviously.

[happysmileyfungirl]

that happened to Naniwai (a member of PPT) and they were sent exactly five minutes apart.

[mizzy]

The thing that is confusing me, is the time differences between each neomail... I mean, why send a neomail every 5 minutes to reject the piece?

[everconfused]

Wow, that is weird! Maybe part of the reason the site's down right now? Whatever happened is being worked on?

Wasn't there another glitch with neomail awhile back where people had won one of the site competitions? The you have guessed correctly and won ___ along with duplicates of the item won?

[Nani]

I got the exact same thing this week and last week. 18 letters, 5 miniutes apart each.

I reported theneopetsteam for spamming. That was really fun.

[vinylraven]

i wonder what causes that! and since it's happened before, why haven't they fixed it? heheh
