Hi Everyone,

I posted a question before but didn't really officially say hello, so "hello"!  This seems to be a very supportive, helpful place with lots of nice people.  Looking forward to spending some time here when my busy schedule allows.  I know extremely little about how to navigate and use forums, and the etiquette involved, so I'm still trying to learn that as well as the art of sweeping.  Please bear with me on both accounts.

My current question is about emails and newsletters.  I know that some sweepstakes require you to sign up for their mailing/emailing lists as a condition of entry.  I think I have read that with most of them you can immediately unsubscribe and some you must stay subscribed, but what if it is not specifically mentioned in the rules? 

Part two of the question:  I was pretty careful at first with going right back to unsubscribe if the rules allowed, but then was away from the computer and sweeping for a few weeks and now I am swamped with newsletters, etc.  I'm hesitant to unsubscribe from any of them as I don't know which sweepstake is affiliated with each but it is very time consuming to go through and delete them all each day.  What now?

This actually makes me think of another question, for reference purposes, do I need to keep emails like "we have received your entry" or "welcome to such-and-so, thank you for registering"? 

Thanks again for the nice site,

Bonnie

Using newsletters as my search term in the main forum I found:
