blackcab Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Today, Thai Visa has started spamming my Line App with links to news articles on this forum, with each message also containing a link to advertising. You've been blocked. I don't appreciate it, and I doubt other people do too. Line application is a way I communicate with people, not the way I choose to receive unsolicited marketing. Your methods are no better than cold calling. A big thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 The Bang & Olufson link is a blatant advertorial. "Experience the sound and design at Bang & Olufsen stores at Gaysorn Shopping Centre, the Crystal Ekamai-Ramindhra, and Think Space at Central Eastville." The DTAC link is too. "pre-order", "free gifts", "special offers", "promotional period", "special gifts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thank you. I see what you mean. Readers interested in reading a review about these products or in buying them will appreciate these links, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small percentage, while you risk alienating the larger percentage with intrusive spam messages. I think the marketing department or whoever authorised this needs a lesson on the difference between social media (such as Twitter) and messaging apps such as Line.
