I don't want AIBU update emails

You are at it again. I really don't give a fuck how many people voted in a poll I contributed to. Can you please stop sending unsolicited emails.

I don't know what I've done to my settings but I get no spam at all from MN. Or any emails at all actually

I’m in this joyous situation. I got a special gmail account just for Mumsnet after one of the hacker Incidents. I never check it - I recommend.

Me neither. And can't find how to switch off either.

I would like to see them in my 'I am watching' list but really, really do not want a blinking email.

I don't get the poll emails because I have voting turned off and thus I have not contributed to any.

I unsubscribed last time this was an issue but I still got one this morning.

I know IT changes often have unintended consequences, but I don't know who made this a feature in the first place. You've got plenty of ways for us to follow threads already.

Mumsnet is terrible for spamming however many times I have clicked unsubscribe!

Notajogger · 29/02/2020 08:39

Very surprised that this got suggested and approved internally when they know people want fewer junk emails these days!

LimpidPools · 29/02/2020 08:35

Me too. And I tried to go into settings and switch them off, but couldn't find anything relevant.

I do not want or need any more spammy emails!

Me too - can you make it opt in MN? That would be more appropriate

ShirleyPhallus · 29/02/2020 08:26

Getting this again and driving me mad

Could not give a shit about how many people have participated in an AIBU poll. Someone needs to have a word with your digital marketing manager.

TildaTurnip · 29/02/2020 07:46

Agree! If I want to see then I can go and look. I do not need an email. Nor did I request one.

AwdBovril · 29/02/2020 07:45

I agree. I assume this feature has only been added recently as I never got these updates before. Quite annoying that the default option is that users receive the updates, how about assuming we don't, & posting a small notice under the voting box that you need to opt in if you want them? I get quite enough spam already, thanks.

impostersyndrome · 29/02/2020 06:54

Thanks, but the link doesn’t work on my device, and more importantly, I never gave MN permission in the first place.

WeAllHaveWings · 28/02/2020 23:14

If you read the email there is a link to update your preferences and not receive them.

impostersyndrome · 28/02/2020 22:16

Same here. I have enough junk mail without this intrusion adding to my aggravations.
