I think we should all do the same to sponsors who don't respect the webmasters wishes. Wouldn't webmaster newsletters to the sponsor be filled with exciting and important information?

What's up {SPONSORNAME},

I'm making summer SIZZLE this week with 1.5 GB of BRAND new content JUST added to my CMS today. I've also been upgrading mysql for BLAZING fast database queries.

I've been tweaking traffic settings on {SITENAME} all week long so I can keep making us money! I'm releasing not 4 but 5 brand new blog posts for amazing conversions!!!111

Hit me up if I can do anything for you!!!

Then we should send that out to every single sponsor we have ever signed up for regardless of whether we actively promote them or not. I get announcements every single day from sponsors I don't promote and haven't promoted for years. Really, some of these self-important sponsors need to chill the fuck out with their ridiculous emails. I have other shit to deal with.
