New emails about updates

62 replies

Smelborp · 17/01/2020 23:30

Why are there so many new emails telling me there’s an update on a thread? Why would anyone want an email on this? We can go to the site and check ‘I’m on’.

It seems a bit counterintuitive as all it’s made me do is unsubscribe from everything. They’re still coming though - I’ve had several today.

I already told them several times on another thread that they are breaking GDPR rules and that if it continues I will be reporting them. And yet still they haven’t done anything about it.

What a massive over reaction to a few wayward emails.

If it’s annoying you that much just block sender until it’s sorted.

I've tried unsubscribing from vote notifications via the talk options screen - but how was that option ticked in the first place? I'll see if it works (must go and vote on something!)

I have had THREE of these this morning after unsubscribing from all emails.

It should be a very simple process to disable emails.

Not if you don't know why it's happening, which they don't seem to be. It's also pretty easy to add senders to a block senders list.

MN you’re breaching gdpr by continuing to send crappy emails to people like me who gave unsubscribed.

This was my first thought. Surely it goes against GDPR?

Fluffycloudland77 · 02/02/2020 11:45

I don’t know why your sending them anyway. After I’ve voted I couldn’t give a fuck what happens.

MN you’re breaching gdpr by continuing to send crappy emails to people like me who gave unsubscribed. It needs fixing as an urgent priority.

differentnameforthis · 02/02/2020 08:14

I am sure if they could "turn it off" they would.

Add Mn to your blocked senders list until it's fixed.

Can’t you turn them off until you sort it? I unsubscribed from everything (and I did like a couple of the emails before) but they’re still coming.

I've had these again today, turn off the vote option if necessary but they do need to stop.

INeedNewShoes · 01/02/2020 21:20

Yep. I’ve had a handful of these emails and feel similarly irritated by it! If I want to see an update on a thread I’ll just return to it via threads I’m on.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 01/02/2020 21:18

Omg why??? Who asked for these in the first place?! I've now unsubscribed from everything, which I guess means I won't get insight panel emails now?

Though I still got one after unsubscribing...

CornishPorsche · 01/02/2020 21:14

Another person receiving them here. Very irksome.

StinkyWizleteets · 01/02/2020 20:55

StinkyWizleteets · 01/02/2020 20:54

It needs to stop. It’s a shit feature, it’s passing people off

Thanks to everyone who has posted - just to let you know we are trying to find out what's going on now.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 01/02/2020 19:02

2 more today. I guess when we unsubscribe they think it’s just from that one poll’s updates but if you vote more, you get more emails. Madness.

Why are they back again? This isn’t good marketing or awareness raising.

PonderTweek · 01/02/2020 14:54

I got three today (so far). I have unsubscribed from everything but they keep on coming. Hmm

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 01/02/2020 11:30

Noooooo! MNHQ They’re back!! They’re like the irritating relatives that you read about on Mumsnet, they won’t bloody stop popping in! I want to go NC with them!!!!

PickAChew · 01/02/2020 09:06

I've I subscribed from all emails and still get them.

FourDecades · 01/02/2020 05:29

I have started getting them too....and got one today

AFirst · 01/02/2020 04:10

Aghhhhhhhhhhh. More unwanted emails about AIBU polls. I do not want to receive ANY emails from you other than the ones in response to reports I have made about trolls etc.

Also, it's happened at the weekend again. Perhaps you need to give your tech team Fridays off work...... or at least tell them to stop meddling 😅

Its really IRRIRATING and unprofessional
