Hello there One of my users reported me today that he’s receiveing a huge amount of mail notifications from our discourse forum. I signed-in on his account and checked what’s up - it turned out that he has a highest subscribtion level set for all topics in one of our categories. He could obviously click them one by one and change the subscription level but…tht category has a dozen or so thousands of topics in it so that would be pretty painfull. How is that possible that he has subscribed all topics just like that? Is that doable by discourse UI? I asked him if he done anything related to topic subscribing recently and he said no. But, who knows :wink: Am i able to unsubscribe him somehow through admin panel or anywhere else? I’m a pretty fresh discourse admin and there is a possibility i just can’t find some button for that. As a tip: my forum was migrated from phpBB3, maybe there was some glitch in migration script? Thanks in advance

This sounds like a bug somewhere. Have the user click “unsubscribe” on one of the notifications and then they will have a screen that will hint them to stop watching the category. If the issue is persisting, via user prefs Add category to watching → Save Remove category from watching → Save

It’s already set like that :wink: It kind of looks like he has changed the subscription level for each topic one by one. Which is impossible imho.

You will need to execute a command at the Rails command line to reset all his notifications. Perhaps @techapj can assist with the details? Are you sure no other users have this problem, perhaps as a result of the migration?

It’s pretty hard to say. Just one guy reported it so far but i can’t really check it anyhow.

Just to clarify, because the language is important here: this user has watching notification level set on thousands of topics?

Yup, exactly, that’s the case.

I’m facing the somewhat same issue [תמונה] Notification email for all posts on topic to users who even aren't tracking the topic Support Question: What’s meaning of “user_posted” on email report page(/admin/email/sent) ? [image] and possible bug: Something is wrong with this specific topic in our discourse instance, lot of users are getting email for all posts. Users who even have not tracked this topic. Any suggestion ? Discourse version: v1.7.0.beta1 +35

As a first step, log in as this user, go to the category, and set the category notification level back to “normal”.
