Mea culpa of a former "GIFT SPAMMER"

I just got schooled by GGpearl on HC not to send "Thank You Collections" wihtout the user consent... I developped the *'bad* 'habit on another game of sending a Collection when player sends me something that completes a Collection of mine ... I sent anything from "Prophecy Attributes", "Magical Horns" to "Autograph Pack" ,"Mystic Deck" or even "Centennial Ball" when/if  I have spares ... In my mind, it was a TY gesture and could only help the other player ... Well as it happens this seems to very welcomed by low level  and average players but it is hurting higher level  or avid players of any level and here's why:

A tidbit that skipped my mind form the above FAQ: 'The inbox can hold up to 50 gifts in total, anything that a player might receive post 50 gifts is not counted and therefore "lost". There isn't a way of getting that back or it showing up later.'

By sending 5 unwanted Gifts I can prevent a user from receiving 5 *very needed* ones from their friends thus hurting their game instead of helping ... So from now on, I'll contact the users via chat first to ask if they're OK with receiving what I want to send...

So Newbies like me beware of  unwittingly committing  "Gift Spamming", a severe breach of online Game Netiquette ...

So MEA CULPA, MEA MAXIMA CULPA and I won't do it anymore ...
