Just start spamming them back. Maybe they will get the hint.

I don't think it's rude at all. I hate those emails too. I think it's rude for people to send crap like that. All it does is annoy you and take up space in your inbox. I always get the ones that say if you don't forward this to 10 people in 10 minutes, you'll have bad luck for the rest of your life or something stupid like that. Oh well. I guess I'm just destined to have bad luck because I'm not sending it. :)

Woman, its not rude to ask them not to send them. It is rude to send someone a chain-letter-emails. And people out there; please if you're going to send out chain-letter-emails; at least have the descents to remove the other individuals forwards. No one needs to scroll through pages of addresses, only to read three or fours lines.

I get the same things in my email from friends. I simply delete them. But if I got a lot of them, I'd certainly email my friends and ask them nicely not to send them to me because they're clogging my email. As long as you do it with consideration, it's fine.

Ya, that is rude. If they are friend then you telling to stop should have been all that it took for them to get a clue. Now if it is someone that you don't know then you might as well give up and hit the delete button.

It is rude for them to keep sending them after you asked them to stop. Tell them you get plenty of e-mail without all the forwarded stuff. If they still keep sending, block their address.

Some email services allow you to set blocks in your preferences. If you've been polite, and someone rudely ignores your request, then block them.

Yeah, ask them nicely first. If that doesn't work (and sometimes it doesn't) email them one of the following.

Copy and paste everything on the site into an email.

No it's not rude. You have every right to not have those bombarding your email box! It's rude of them to send those kinds of emails to you...

No, it's not rude to ask them to stop. But you can always do what I do - just delete the messages without even reading them.

It absolutely is NOT rude. If they are truly your friends, then they should respect your wishes. I hate those things. I nicely, but firmly requested my friends to refrain from sending them and most of them have.
