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

[BoreOfWhabylon]

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.

[CodenameVillanelle]

Who on earth actually wants emails updating them on AIBU polls? All this has done is stopped me clicking on the polls so well done mumsnet, you've added a feature nobody asked for or is likely to want and made what was quite a good feature unusable.
Who's bright idea were email poll updates?!

[Crockof]

Agree, I keep getting them. TURN IT OFF.

[PrinkingPreening]

I can’t imagine anyone actually wants to use this feature??

This!

Nobody wants this information, and if they did then they would know where to find it.

This must be why it's been made opt-out, rather than opt-in and also impossible to unsubscribe from even when you try . Because absolutely nobody would want to opt into it.

Also ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL.

WTAF, Mumsnet.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Nobody wants these updates. Why would you think we would?

[musicposy]

One email a day, may be forgiveable, but I have something like 50 emails to delete in the space of two days (yes, I spend a lot of time voting on AIBU!).

I did NOT give you permission for this. I’m just going to unsubscribe from mumsnet emails altogether after this.

[musicposy]

I’ve looked on my settings and you don’t actually have my permission to send me ANY emails. Yet I’m getting them every 10 minutes.

ILLEGAL. Are you reporting this breach of GDPR yourself?

[Hippopotas]

The only way I could get it not to put a tick in the box was to untick everything which I don’t really want to do but I’m so annoyed with the emails I decided it’s worth it.

[PickAChew]

Of course, what attempting to unsubscdibe via the email itself does appear to have achieved is removing me from the insight panel. I'm not so fussed about that, as they all end up on the boards, anyhow, but I am concerned that I will now miss out on updates for a product test I'm doing.

Surely mumsnet is a large enough company, by now, to have a competent IT team.

[impostersyndrome]

Ironic isn’t it? We get spammed uncountable times, but not even a daily update on this thread.

[LemonGingerCakes]

Another one with this problem

[PineappleDanish]

Also now that I have opted out of all emails, I'm not seeing the vote button on any AIBU topics.

I want to vote.

I just don't want to have to receive the spammy emails updating the poll.

[Absolutepowercorrupts]

I followed the link, unticked the box. 2 AIBU poll emails were sent in the early hours of this morning.Removing the tick doesn't work.

[GloriaMumsnet]

Hi everyone, we're sorry to have caused this and irritated everyone with the update! We've turned it off now but it may take a short time to take effect.

[Absolutepowercorrupts]

Thanks Gloria, I hope it's working now
