Default Emails from NAA

Does anyone know how to stop all of the emails from Need an Article??

I've looked everywhere on the site, but I can't find anything. It's early, so maybe I'm missing something.

I'm glad to see it's not just me that's getting a little irritated with the steady stream of emails. If it's not a rap across the knuckles, (because some writers are hogging work, or just abandoning orders) its a plea for financial help from some other unfortunate writer. If I could manage to at least snag an article here or there it wouldn't matter as much, but I've not been able to get a single article since I joined the new site, and my inbox is filling up faster than ever with all these random emails. :-/ Has anyone else at least been able to get a little work from there?

GRRR!! It's driving me nuts!

Honestly, some of these emails don't really seem all that professional to me. They're criticizing writers who aren't doing their jobs, which I can understand to a point. But, calling them out and naming them by name in a mass email?? C'mon!

And the plees for money and sob stories?? ARGH!! I think it's ridiculous! They should at least set up a forum for people who actually WANT to read that stuff! (Although I DID donate a couple bucks to that lady who needs to be with her kid during surgery. I've been in that situation, and it sucks...)

The other day, I did manage to snag two articles, but those are the only two I've gotten since I got accepted there. And I was "lucky" to snag them! They were going FAST.

I'm thinking about just emailing them to shut down my account. I'm that sick of the emails, and I never get work there anyway.

I just emailed NAA about their unprofessionalism. I was one of the "flakes". Annoys me to no end that I messaged "Nance" after I was discharged from the hospital explaining why the articles were late. She told me to go ahead and complete them.No problem right? The client did not complain. I have completed 80+ jobs for NAA all done right and on time. And then I wake up to an email like that?

I also went on to complain about them excessively emailing to soliciting money from their writers.

Oh good. Now we're probably gonna get an email about your email... LoL

Actually, that's not a bad idea... Maybe I'll shoot off a quick email as well.

Ugh, sorry you all have to deal with that. What a ridiculous, unprofessional company NAA is.

Oh yeah, the Rip-Off Report really brings out the owner's "professional" side!

Yes - splendidly! The emails from the company aren't much better. I think after I get paid, I'm gonna lose this egg. It's just not my "style".

Wow! I was really annoyed when they deleted my account with no warning because I didn't sign in for a week (when I emailed them they said I had never taken the grammar test...but I had, and I had written several test articles and been approved for various section but whatever....but I think I dodged a bullet!
