Which site? When you say "this site" I don't know if you mean the POB forum (the source of the sudden barrage of emails) or RPLS Today (where you are reading this right now). RPLS Today is not affiliated with POB in any way.

Interesting thing for me, I don't believe I have ever signed up for that site. Still getting spammed.

33 yesterday alone. I am waiting for it to crash and burn.

Sad thing is their archives are the most valuable surveying asset any of us had.

This is adding insult to injury. About 1-2 months ago, I tried to log in to rpls.com. Couldn't. Tried to change my password through Forgot Password. Got the new temp and changed it - supposedly. Then I tried to log in. I got a response that my username was in use, or something like that. I tried several times without success.

So I emailed BNPP and asked to be removed. They responded that it would take 1 - 2 months! It's been about 1 month and now this SPAM. I'm getting it on my business email and personal email, and my wife is getting the same on her personal email, which I don't know how they got.

Sent a nasty email to them yesterday telling them to unsubscribe all 3 emails, immediately. I hope it works. Meanwhile, I've put them on my ISP spam filter "enemies" list, but I still get to see them in the spam summary.

Them sending out more spam telling how to stop the spam by changing the rpls account setting is useless as I can't get into my account with them.

I had the exact same problem. Suddenly, and without explanation, I was able to log in. I started a thread telling them their login process was screwed up.

So far, I haven't received any spam.

I had enough of their similar acts.
For decades I would receive two or three magazines every month from them in the name of Harris Surveying, A Harris and A Harris Surveying.
They apparently get their info by data mining methods and from answering their fishing emails.
Marked the first new email as SPAM and they all disappeared............

Was finally able to log in and turn off the subscriptions to the 3 stupid areas. I would also recommended going into the notifications tab and turning all of that off too. Good Luck and may you be successful.

So merely unsubscribing via an email (I've got plenty of those, heh) from them isn't enough to stop this barrage of notifications?

It depends on how many of their forums and categories to which you are subscribed. Clicking unsubscribe in the notification will only apply to that particular subscription.

As I mentioned on Facebook earlier, I initially had at least 26 emails from RPLS.com when I tried to unsubscribe. I received an additional 17 emails and decided to send an email to the editor yesterday. I just received an email from the editor thanking me for alerting them to the problem and that they had opened an emergency ticket with IT to find the problem. I am glad to hear that it sounds like some kind of system error and not some new aggressive contact campaign.

Like you've never told a client "the network was down" when you were behind on your deliverable schedule 😉
