If I didn't opt-in and they send me a message that I have to log in to opt-out, I mark it as spam. Sometimes I'll also log in and remove myself, but not always. Depends on the company.

On the other hand, if there's a simple 1-click link, I will usually click it and merely archive or delete the mail.

Webmasters: It's in your best interest to make it easy to unsubscribe. It only makes people mad. It doesn't make them stay as customers.



I agree, I am very liberal with the "mark as spam" button.

Even if I opt out and they say, "might take two weeks to propagate changes."

That's weird; it only took you two minutes to propagate changes enough to start sending mail.

If I am unable to opt out without logging in, or if I opt out and more come I just mark it spam.
