"There's been new updates on the AIBU poll"

I've started getting these emails when (presumably) AIBU polls I've posted on are updated.

I find them irritating and don't want them, but there is no obvious way to turn them off.

We're so sorry this still isn't working. We're looking at it now - please bear with us (again).

Yes, @MumsnetHQ this really is not ok. I am logged in. I am not subscribed to any emails, newsletters or notifications but still they keep coming.
You need to sort this out. Surely it is not in line wIth GDPR?
Please let us know what you are doing about this and when we can expect a solution. It has been weeks since this was raised with you. It’s unacceptable for this to be continuing.

PickAChew · 01/02/2020 09:09

@lilymumsnet is anything actually being done about this? The solution you gave us isn't working and no one from mnhq has even been back to this thread to acknowledge that.

As others have said - when I uncheck the box and press save it resets to being checked. Not loving the auto enrolment into spam emails.

SistersOfPercy · 27/01/2020 22:12

Everything off. Still being spammed.

nocoolnamesleft · 27/01/2020 22:04

How annoying that we were automatically opted into spam.

Thanks LilyMumsnet. I've (hopefully) managed to turn them off now.

Same here. Please just switch it off.

Smelborp · 27/01/2020 21:30

They’ve started again. I followed the notifications settings, I’ve unchecked them and as I press save, they reappear. Angry

I’ve tried three times now.

This is not on.

I've I ticked the box, I've saved the changes and the tick has just appeared back on the box.

This sort of thing is intrusive and should be opt in.

Hi all,

To turn these notifications off, go to customise, scroll down to 'Notify me when there are updates on AIBU polls' and untick the box.

I'm only signed up for the round-up (which I don't get!) and, same as MsVestibule, there is nowhere to unsubscribe from these AIBU spam emails.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!

@MNHQ please stop it!

MsVestibule · 27/01/2020 19:05

It's started again! And I still can't find a way to unsubscribe from them. I'm (supposedly) only signed up for the weekly round up and Swears By.

Even the unsubscribe isn’t working 😭😤

Hello folks - we've switched the emails off for now while we wait to hear an update on how to opt out. Sorry for the annoyance.

LemonRedwood · 18/01/2020 17:08

we are aware that you're having problems

Not having problems at all, as none of us were trying to do anything. You made a change that now sends out auto emails. Just change it back.

KimMumsnet · 18/01/2020 16:10

Hi, all.
We are just trying to get an update for you on this - sorry we can't give you any more information at the moment but we are aware that you're having problems so please do bear with us.

MiniDoofa · 18/01/2020 15:39

Same. Please switch them off!

Lupiaza · 18/01/2020 15:25

Me too. Piss off, I don't want this pointless information.

Choccyp1g · 18/01/2020 15:19

Ditto. Please make it stop

OvenGlovesWillTearUsApart · 18/01/2020 14:45

I got one and thought, ‘eh?’

Even more annoyingly, when I went to look at the thread to find out what was so interesting, it had been deleted!

sunshinesupermum · 18/01/2020 14:43

Wish MNHQ would stop these irritating emails now.
