There’s an earlier request for a similar feature here: Please don’t autosubscribe me to summary emails

It’s something we are open to giving people more control over when they create their account and we’ve discussed some possible designs, but we haven’t had a chance to go any further than that yet.

If you’d like to contribute to moving this forward, consider voting for that feature and contributing to the discussion there about the details of the design of this feature.
