We were not advertising, we're inviting the hackers to join if they are interested to send they help requests from their communities based on their contributions.
We understand that it's not acceptable by some people and that's why we're going to change that.

- kaolinite 11y agoWell that is advertising. You run the service, you're emailing people to tell them about the service. You phrased it in a way that implied it was doing the developers a favour (and I'm sure that you feel that you are - your software looks good) but nevertheless, it's advertising. It's also spamming. Harvesting email addresses from people contributing to open-source isn't cool. I'm glad to hear you'll be changing that. I know it's competitive out there but your app looks good, let it speak for itself. You don't need to stoop this low.
- ahmdrefat 11y agoThank you for your feedback, and I hope we see you on GitHelp someday :)

- ahmdrefat 11y agoI got what you're saying
- umanwizard 11y agoWhat is the definition of advertising according to you?
- jarofgreen 11y agoA lot of the SEO spam I get says "This is not spam" in the footer. I'm this close to just setting up a filtering rule that moves all such mail straight to the trash. Serious question: are you going to stop this or just change it? Some of your other messages are unclear on this point.
