+Gill & Tony Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Once again Groundspeak has sent me an email, this time inviting me to apply for a Jack's Link trackable, for something they know I'm not eligible to get. AND it now appears as a link on my dashboard. Why is it that a company which talks about "the language of location" doesn't realise that Australia is not part of the USA? Please, someone, work out how to not send this sort of stuff to people who don't qualify. And work out how to not put the link on my dashboard. \Rant Edited June 22, 2022 by Gill & Tony 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment

It isn't? But didn't Tom Selleck make a western set in Australia back in the '90s? Australia has to be one of the western states, doesn't it? 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Aren't you being Westist by assuming the rest of the world knows who that is? ------------------ But seriously, Gill, I agree that there should be a mechanism to target messages like that, and 'regionally' would be a good option. 2 Quote Link to comment

Despite requests to STOP, it continued to foster bad feelings between the branch employees and the self-entitled, well-funded prima donnas up at HQ. Feel your pain. 1 Quote Link to comment

+OusKonNé & Cétyla Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) About the Great Jerky Hunt by Jack Link's, I started to fill out the entry form when I realized that the contest does not apply in Canada... So why showing me this promotional link if not applicable here? Edited June 26, 2022 by OusKonNé & Cétyla 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

There are no ads in the right panel of my dashboard either, just the event calendar at the top. It's the link to the USA-only Great Jerky Hunt promotion in the left panel that's the issue.

I still use the old dashboard, so hadn't noticed this. 1 Quote Link to comment
