Announcement Blocking Email

[StevenHXF]

Hey everyone.

We've been having issues with email sent from the forum being marked as spam by various email providers. The biggest cause of this is people subscribing to email notifications and then blocking them in their email client.

We now get reports on when this happens so we can take action. If you don't want email notifications PLEASE turn email notifications off rather than blocking us in your email account.

If users continue to do this we'll have to start locking accounts. Please don't make me start naming and shaming.

Peace

What about notifications off by default for everyone and u need to activate them knowingly if you need them??

The issue is that doing that only turns email notifications off for new threads that are being watched. Users will need to turn off email notifications, unwatch a thread and then watch it again.

Well, at least do that for new users..

We've done that now but still need users to not subscribe for notifications they don't want
