Working through the pile of emails in my inbox I've come across a growing issue and feel the need to post here for people to see and hopefully it will solve it for the future.
Since the end of season update (a week ago) I've had around 100 emails regarding transfers. Obviously this is a huge amount to handle, add to that I'm not sat at home 24/7 able to reply to them and the few hours after work on weekdays I do have, this week, has gone on replying to some emails, and finishing off elements of the website update. But its the fact I'm not replying instantly that is causing people to multi-email me. I'll have 1 email say on Monday AM with a bid, another Monday PM with a bid, another Tuesday AM with a bid, then by Tuesday PM I'll have a 4th email combining all bids and asking for an update... if you have 100 emails ahead of you in the queue chances are between Monday AM and Tuesday PM I won't have read your 1st email, so by multi-emailing after, you're just clogging up the inbox, making it take longer for me to get back to people, and as such, causing others to do exactly the same thing.
It also makes it hard replying, as I have to search through to see if you might have updated your bid since the initial email, before I reply to avoid wasting time on a bid that may have changed/been cancelled.
This obviously doesn't apply to everyone, but the people it does apply to are causing the others to have to wait days longer for a reply. Hopefully pointing out the sheer number of emails and bids I have to deal with, will get people to be a bit more collective when bidding on multiple players putting it all in 1 email, and a bit more patient when waiting for a reply - there is a queue, multi-emails won't speed up a reply.
