    I have never given out my E Mail address on this site to anyone other that you when joining.
    Today i received an E Mail in the form of an update message from Allpoetry, stating that one of my favorites had posted a new poem, and that another had a new contest.
    I would like to know how and why this occurred. If it is now the policy to disclose my E.Mail address then i will have to withdraw from this site,
    As i know not what else is likely to become policy

    You can turn it off, I believe.

    Yes, you can turn i off. On your account page under "Personal Information" there is a place to edit Email notifications.

      I have done that but still feel that it could have been done in a better way

    I have just found your earlier posting on E Mailing to members.
    I feel that this is something that you have placed on us without consultation
    I went to my account and found that each of the following the boxes had been ticked


    E.mail me at ( my e.mail address)
    Someone has added you as a friend
    New comments on your work
    New messages
    New poems by favorites
    New notes
    One E.mail each week
    At each visit, reset this tiler

    I think that if you had intended to send an E.Mail to members
    You could have sent one explaining the changes, and options to edit ones options
    I could then at next log on i could have edited to suit
    Not inform me that a favorite had posted a new poem or that one had set a new contest
    Perhaps the reason many are not log in on so often is because of the arbitrary changes made

      As an FYI, I have unticked all options but am still getting emails on new IMs, favs poems, etc. Something is not quite right there yet...
