Emails when someone posts on a thread - data protection issue

[jumblefun2]

As you can see I've registered again after deregistering to test something out.

Why do I get emails when someone posts on a thread I'm on when I never actually consented to that as part of the sign up process?

I was sure I hadn't and I just deleted and re-registered and I DEFINITELY didn't consent.

You contacted the ICO about inane emails from a parenting website you chose to join???

You seriously need to get a life.

I went on their live chat and asked their advice.

Why wouldn't I?

The question is - Why would you? Seriously why?

There are so many threads at the moment, and have been for a while, nit-picking at everything MNHQ do that "offends" posters who seem to think this site owes them something.

OP, you de-registered and then re-registered to do this! Seriously? Have you seriously got nothing better to do with your time?

I de-registered, and re-registered, as I explained, to check what I signed up for and what boxes I ticked at sign up because I didn't remember.

because you could identify me in the background by both email address and by IP address which are instantly available as soon as you register for an account here or indeed anywhere that requires an email address.
Shit stirring for the sake of it.

What legal basis are HQ using to send those emails was my original question and it hasn't been answered.

Thanks for this thread OP
I'll be interested to see the response

The IP issue with records on the previous problems wasn't clear to me either, I mean do MN keep the username and IP info together?

There has been no breach.

Juneybean what are you basing that on? Im genuinely interested - I know there hasn't been a data breach but I believe there mayhave been a breach of GDPR

Ah sorry thought it was being inferred that there was a data breach!
