I seem to have the most fun when new web2.0 social sites decide to ban me for self promotion.

This time its Viadeo.com

I try to login, and I get the message: account suspended.

Yippee, a site that actually provides a “normal” message when they decide to ban/suspend you.

Looks like viadeo are a step better organised that stumbleupon and Mixx

But now I have another problem:

Viadeo send me regular emails (usually titled “your personalised summary”), with my account stats and other latest happenings.

The solution should be simple enough: a link at the bottom of the email to remove myself from the mailing list…

I click on the link, I get sent to the viadeo website, where I must sign in before I can stop getting the emails… catch 22

Sigh

OK, I flag the email as spam, and I now have some material for another blog post!
