But we quickly learned how difficult it was going to be! After 5 months of funding the broadcast badge initiative, we had to find a way to reward people in a more fair way. If we had unlimited funds, we would give it to everyone! However it became clear the funds was better used to DOUBLE referral rewards instead. It was a tough call to make, but the community needs to keep going. Hope it didn't come off the wrong way! :( Sincerely, Khailee @chingy

You have been very reasonable about the situation. Thanks for bringing this up again. Believe me - Youth Malaysia COMPLETELY SCREWED UP it's email list management from DAY 1 - both from a policy level and a technical level. There were many incidents where the email relationships with it's users were not treated with the care it deserves. Joel's (the founder of Youth Malaysia) first priority as a result, was to set things RIGHT once and for all. When I started working with him on some projects in May 2008, I brought a new technical team in, and showed him how. New rules. New software. Most importantly GLOBAL UNSUBSCRIBE LINKS - which means, you have one click unsubscribe and you will never hear from Youth Malaysia - no matter where or when you registered, or if your friends use the 'invite a friend' tools to email you... you will never receive emails from Youth Malaysia again. So what happened? I was notified that a RECENT email WITHOUT the unsubscribe link was sent out by mistake! The horror!!!! I have since frozen ALL email campaigns till I get to the bottom of this. I'm really sorry the email found its way to your inbox! As an additional effort, I have set up unsubscribe@youthmalaysia.com - please drop unsubscribe@youthmalaysia.com a blank email - and you will never receive emails from Youth Malaysia again. I apologize again for the mess :( If there's anything else I can do, or anything else you would like to share with me: Eg. verbal abuse I can be reached at khailee@youthmalaysia.com 2009 is going to be a fantastic year for all of us, and I am committed to making sure no one is annoyed by any of the youth projects lined up.
