OK, IF you have Gmail, and have not gotten your verification you signed up for beta, go to your spam folder. Gmail is reporting a lot of people are flagging this e-mail as spam. Now, the only way to get this e-mail is to sign up for Beta, in which case your confirmation e-mail is pretty much to 100% exact opposite of spam.

More like Manna form heaven.

So, for people to be flagging it as spam, they are trying to trick the Gmail filter into flagging it as Spam for other people, thus elminating people from possibly getting into Beta, and thereby improving their own odds.

Feasibility of that working aside, it is downright wrong to do. Yes, we all are dying to get into Beta. But let's play fair. I want in bad, but if it means I have to sabotage someone else trying to get in, I am not going to do it.

Play fair people, we want a good ESO community

And, everyone check your spam folders

How would that keep people out of beta? The confirmation email is just a notice from the devs that your app was received. Its not like you have to reply or anything...

yup

Wait what? Gmail tosses stuff into the spam folder all on its own. No idea how you think other users can effect that. Just put the sender into your address book and problem solved.

If the site gets flagged as a spam site, none of their e-mail will reach you. If your Beta key gets tossed into the spam folder, you never get your key. Every Beta key that doesn't get used means Bethesda must send out more keys. (Since they have a set number of players they want to have testing at the various phases.) Thus, if people don't redeem their keys because they don't know about them, other people are more likely to get in.

Flagging their e-mail as spam, when enough people do it, causes Gmail's servers to set a universal spam flag. Thus, you flag it as spam, and then just watch your own spam folder for your key. You increase your odds of getting in, while hurting other people's.

Just wrong to do.
