There's a link to it right under the complaint post, starting "Everyone, go complain on the Netflix Community" – Thomas, on June 19, 2008 21:23

What Netflix community? Where is this complaining going on?

This is crazy - now the 6 regulars on the Netflix community are complaining about all the people who came out in droves to voice their opposition to this decision.

For shame, Netflix, for shame.

I called to complain and sent them an e-mail complaint as well. My wife goes through DVDs far more quickly than I do. The only reason I didn't switch to Blockbuster a while back was because I couldn't have my own little one DVD profile. I hope all of the complaints force them to make a change to this policy before September 1.

Yep! As I said, "Of course we should do 3rd party petitions..." I agree with you completely. – Josh Lewis, on June 19, 2008 19:30

Josh: I think that angry Netflix customers should make their voice heard in as many places as possible, and not only in one "official" space. They could decide to simply delete or censor posts on their blog if they want to, but they can't control what is said about them in 1,000 places.

I'm in the same boat as everyone here.

Now I have to figure out what we're going to do. Constantly manipulating our queue to keep the family happy doesn't sound like much fun.

Yes, and over there there's a link to over here. Notice the first comment. Expect many people who have already commented over there to also come over here, they are most likely the people with cupcake avatars. – Thomas, on June 19, 2008 18:55

Guys, I think the most "in their face" we can get is commenting on this on their own blog on Netflix.com. Of course we should do 3rd party petitions, submit suggestions, comment here and elsewhere on it, but let's put our opinions on their own site. If they don't look anywhere else, you'd think they would look at their own blog. As of this writing, 309 people have already commented over there.

yeah it really doesnt give me an incentive to start again anytime soon cause my account has been removed. I think netflix are being cheap bastards by pruning the database. So all of my movies that ive reviewed are most likely gone. all of my recommendations will have to start over again. This is a very stupid move on their part.

I would even be willing to start another account if it would enable my husband to keep all his reviews and ratings that he has accumulated over the last three years, but Netflix says it's "impossible" to transfer the data over. To me impossible = too much effort.

Followup comment email notification

When posting a comment there was a box to check titled "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail". Even though I did not check that box, I still received an email notification with a followup comment. It appears that the author looked up my email from my registration information and then cut and pasted his comment from the thread into an email and manually sent it to me.

Is there a way to not receive followup comment emails other then just changing my profile email to something fake?
