I want to close my job because I can't handle the constant stream of emails from oDesk. When closing the job, I'm asked to select a reason. None of the reasons apply and the reason will be displayed publicly...I think. How do I close my project without misleading everyone as to why it was closed?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear that the email notifications are becoming such a hassle, we are definitely working to resolve this very soon. I'm assuming that you are referring to the new candidate alerts, is this correct?
A simple way to make those notifications stop for now is to edit your job opening and change it to invite only, this will prevent the job from showing up in our public marketplace and you will be able to evaluate the current candidates.
Does this help?

Thank you, but I think I'm just going to close it. I just went through the responses and see that I'm getting a lot of garbage anyway. Thanks but no thanks.
