Anyone else sick of unwanted private tracks on Soundcloud?

[Depone]

Yeah there's only so much bad electro house i can handle

Times a million.

Thing is i dont mind getting private tracks, but only if im actually following them. That should be in the settings and its not.

***EDIT***

There is that said option...
Facepalm

yea this is the reason i fkn hate myspaz use to get constant message about there new track and some would sent it as comment's but now am starting to get it on scloud too...

sometime i don't mind giving feed back's but some constantly repeat and does give me the shit's.

Is it just me or are people doing this more and more these days? I'm so sick of getting emails and notifications through from people I don't know on Soundcloud sending me their freaking song... I mean, if I wanted to listen to it, and by proxy if it was worth listening to, I would've already done it already ¬_¬

Seriously need to implement a setting whereby you can choose not to get private tracks from people you don't know... [/rant]

I am getting spam everywhere I go! email, soundcloud, myspace, facebook, twitter and bare forums.

[Dub_Fiend]

weird, I have never had this happen once...and I have enough people visiting my page. There must be a setting somewhere for it...

You have to be following some people for that to happen.

I am following people, but probably only about 10...maybe that makes the difference?

I think if you're in groups they can get you too... Cause I do get tracks from people I don't follow and I can't think of any other way that they can access your name, I mean it's not like you can share to someone who isn't directly following you or being followed by you any other way... Unless you're a leet haXXor

yea you also get the email of the person following you too that one i notice..

maybe just change your email add and make it an email add that you wont log into maybe just check your messages on scloud..

i hardly ever log into my email add i normally go straigh to scloud

but i do get very few spam's

[thierry_le_dj]

yes! why i'm ready to delete my soundcloud

yeaa i just got myself a paid account not long ago kinda regreating it but i think scloud has been alot better than myspace ever was

i like the fact there no flashy advert's and some random's actually give good positive and negative feed back...

as myspace was hey thanks for the add ,check my track's lol

scloud is still ok

I agree this is really annoying! I've just changed my settings now, and hopefully won't get as many spam messages anymore.

Just noticed you can "mute" people now as well? Anyone tried this out? Guessing it stops people showing up on your dashboard?

This really pisses me off so I have my own self imposed terms & conditions...

1) if you want to catch my attention and get me to maybe listen to some of your tunes come to my page and listen to my tracks and leave some comments, I read every comment and if you leave something interesting or show a genuine interest in my music then chances are I'll start listening to your tunes.

2) if you want to absolutely guarantee that I make a special effort to not listen to any of your tunes or comment on anything you make then send me private message & tracks without first approaching me and making contact.

3) If you really are persistent on sending my a shit new tune every single day and you do ware me down to actually listen to one then expect my comments & criticism to be brutally honest and not in the least bit flattering.
