Yeah, it looks like all the bugs are working out.
This is just a dry run, so lots of spit and lube are needed for the coming weeks. That is, be funny and clever and contentious and you'll find yourself "in the Fix."
Well, I am merely ye amaneusis, lovely Lo! Or perhaps merely a nuisance, Though I aspire to perspire in your joussiance! All that's needed is your two cents

(Don't encourage him. He is crazy enough as it is.) ... Huh, did some one mention my name? (No Walter, go back to sleep boy. There is nothing to see here.)
Edited: Suggestion for the Weekly Fix: what about The Quote of the Week? I could send a list of quotes I have used or collected each week to the Fixer so (s)he can make a choice.

Ahhhhhhh, that was a good fix!!
I also like the quote of the week idea.
Two fixes in one week, yummm. I am saying too much again aren't I?

The SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT: tag sent it straight into Gmail's spam bin. Which is not surprising, as of the thousands of emails I have received with that in the subject, this is the first one ever that has (arguably) been opt-in.
Walter -- Yeah, please send your nominations. We can include that as a regular feature. Or pick your favorite. Or whatever.
If you pick quotes from the week prior to the Fix that would rock. The Fix "goes to bed" on Sunday evenings, and what I do is cull through posts and chat on the site from the immediate week previous. Right now, I'll be looking at stuff from Monday-Sunday.
Hopefully, it's a fun way to highlight contributions and craziness of ADT chatterboxes, and spotlight industry stuff from some different perspectives. Mostly, I'm just working with what's already there. Glad to see the positive response, especially since this is just the intial public offering!

It could just be automated spam reports. Whatever you do, avoid using SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT: in the future. It's going to trip just about every automated spam filter there is.
On the other hand I can see how you could have got some genuine human complaints over this. Whilst you clearly intended it to be an opt-in communication for ADT afficionados, I think you made a bit of a blunder in the way you implemented it, as I don't actually recall opting-in myself. I see there is an option box in the edit profile screen, but couldn't say whether I ticked it, if it was ticked by default, or if it was even there when I first registered.
It's no big deal to me - it could well be argued that by registering I consented to receiving such emails from you anyway. The problem is the length of time that has passed. Someone who signed up for an account years ago and then forgot about it until receiving this might well consider it spam.

skronk, I will send you the quotes on Sunday. I don't know which ones are most suitable: the ones I have used that week or the ones I have collected that week? A poll?

AFAIK the sexually-explicit tag is a legal requirement.

If you're referring to the CAN-SPAM act provisions, I believe you are mistaken. I think this clause applies:
"A "transactional or relationship message" – email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship – may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act."
As you are only sending it out to people who have registered on the site, a relationship does exist.
If you look at the SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT: labelling rule, you will see that it applies to spam. Ergo, labelling your emails in accordance to this rule is basically admitting that they're spam, so it's hardly suprising many ISPs will block them.
Also note that if you follow that rule, you are also required to put a "valid physical postal address" to be "clear and conspicuous" in the message.

just let us sign up for it so we can get it sans "Explicit Material" label.

There is already a "Subscribe to Adult DVD Talk newsletter" tick box in the profile page and I presume that is the basis on which this was sent out.
I suggest setting them all to off, thereby clearing out the inactive profiles. Then the currently active users who want it can sign themselves back up.

Oh great... the weekly fix raises the possibility of little Vince going down in history as the greatest porn watcher of all time. Not that this was true but if skronker included it perhaps future generations would believe it. It's worth a try...
yeah, it was in Yahoos spam folder. I did make ADT folder and Filter, now e-mails from @adultdvdtalk.com goes to that ADT folder, next week i know if that works:)
