Well, the recruiting rules did change recently. It is not a violation to recruit on any Instant Messengers. For a short time, recruiting were allowed via eMail, but that stopped, due to mass complaints.

Honestly, I see nothing wrong with recruiting thru eMail and YIM (or MSN, AIM, etc..).

Here what Cases reps had said after they decided to do another change after the huge complaints.

- Recruiting thru Instant Messengers is allowed, because the other person have the option of blocking/ignore the recruiter.

- Recruiting thru eMail is no longer allowed (after a short time of it being allowed).

Well, it is clear that reps do not know about every email accounts do have a 'block sender' that works the same way as block/ignore on Instant Messengers.

I'm not sure that I understand your sitation clearly, but my advice is to just delete an eMail of recruit for a league if you are not interested.

As for the said dysfunctional league, it sounds really bad and the league need to be suspended to get their acts straight. You can try to file a complaint aganist the said league, but I doubt any of the reps would care to listen.

I don't think someone was looking for you in every leagues. Most likely, someone was in both leagues and informed the HA of another league that you withdrew from a league. Someone probably wanted you to join the other league, because he/she likes you.

Yes, eMail addresses can be found of any players on the BETA. Plus, they can be found thru tourney pages.

You can request a feature of having Cases reps to start something that people can enlist their eMail addresses of No Recruit list. It is similar to the national No Call list. For example, Diamond members can enlist their eMail addresses to the No Recruit list and when the recruiter tries to send out the recruit eMail, it gets picked up as block (or returned to sender with given reason).
