Premium 'Recently Registered' email

[SantasBritchesSpelleas]

I had an email advertising Premium saying 'We noticed you recently registered with Mumsnet'. I registered several years ago! Is this an error or is it like moving into a small village where you're still considered an incomer 20 years later?

I had the same email. I've been here 5 years. And I haven't signed up for premium yet because I don't want to. Not impressed with the spam.

I just got this too. Really pissed me off.
I've been here 5 years at least!

Glad it's not just me!

Really annoyed me as well. Poor timing at 8pm on Christmas Eve and I have been here for over 10 years.....

I got this too. I was very offended, I've been here under various usernames for at least 10 years...

Just another plug for premium and assumes I am a Mum.

I'm also a non-mum. I'm childfree by choice so I'm not bothered, but it might upset someone who was suffering from infertility.

I've just had this but to an email account that isn't connected to my Mumsnet account. Spam much?

@TabithaTowers only just said that it assume I am a Mum. Even more reason not to have my life made "a bit easier."

"First in line" - yep, for the delete button.

Just had the same. I've been here at least 8 years.

I'm childfree
Been here years
Hate gin
Find spam annoying

None of it works for me 😆

I'm really annoyed by this. It's been a shit year for many people and sending what amounts to a begging spam email on Christmas Eve is in poor taste.

Me too and I registered here (with this name) in 2003!

I could be a bloke! I could have fertility issues or have lost a child. Really insensitive.

Plus, if I wanted premium, I'd sign up.
The reality is that I live abroad, don't fit the demographic and think it's a piss poor offering for a fiver a month.

I got one of these 'we notice you've recently registered' emails too, I've been on here for aeons . Not massively impressed tbh.

I've been here at least 13 years so I was a bit surprised to be addressed as someone who recently registered - perfect example of marketing gone wrong.

I've been here 14 years, have no intention of paying £5 per month for premium and don't even name change.... Definitely haven't recently signed up.

"We've noticed you've just signed up, fancy spending some cash with us?"

"Ah no, this is awkward... I've been here for the best part of a decade, but cheers for noticing"

Hello, thanks for flagging this. This email was meant to go out to people who had registered in the last few days but due to a human error it went out to a much larger segment of email addresses on our database. The issue has been fixed now. Many apologies, we know many of you have been here years so it must have been a bit of an odd email to get! Apologies again everyone, and Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the explanation @EstherMumsnet. Merry Christmas!

I'm not sure it's great marketing to send begging emails to people who have only just signed up. I doubt those who have signed up in the last few days are going to be interested in paying £5 (or £50) for a site they've barely had a chance to explore, especially with how many have lost their jobs in the last few months.

Bizarre email to send to any member on Christmas Eve (now I know it isn’t a scam). I’ve been here years. Not a mum (child free I suppose). For new members lots won’t know about naice anything.

Note on my email there are two opt out options at the bottom - the top one is only opt out of information on premium. The lower one is general marketing and offers.

I got the email too and found it missed the mark. Addressing mums only is exclusionary considering this is a site that supposedly has a value of diversity. The whole “naice gin” comment is classist and also has a vibe like mumsnet users all like/drink alcohol. And what is “sleb” anyway? Short for celeb? My god what do you do with all the time saved by typing one fewer letter?
I was mildly interested in premium, but the email cured me.

I've clicked both opt out links. Despite clicking every link I could see in the accounts page recently, I received 4 emails today, telling me to check out the AIBU poll. It's so annoying.
