That’s a total letdown. I’ve been citing mailchimp for years fighting against the concept of a single opt-in. Especially surprised that they shared very little data to support the change.

Forum notifications are not the kind of “unsolicited commercial email” generally restricted by law as “spam.”
Key words in bold.
If you sign up for a forum expect to get email from the host and as mentioned that feature should be disclosed in the signup/terms and there should be opt-out preferences.
Totally different than, I have this random email addrress so I am going to send a commercial email.
Email service providers may have broader policies than the law. Also the laws differ by location so how and if you are required to get the consent may differ.
Also “generally” meaning that sending an email about the forum might be ok; third party offers maybe not ok unless those types of emails are disclosed.
I am suggesting get the consent via the signup/terms. Otherwise, even the email digest could be suspect–another reason to add the privacy/term link to the invite page.

Hi All,
With the impending GDPR date soon aproaching. What’s the consensus on sending an email to all of our users notifying them of new privacy policy and information on data control.
All of the various services I belong to this past week have been coming out of the woodwork.

This feature is so useful, I do not understand why the developers are not willing to implement it.
Specially with GDPR it would be great to be able to use discourse as a mailing list and have all users in a single place.
Why are you not implementing this? other people mentioned that this a basic functionality in other forum software

Would this work for you?
- Set up an Announcements category that every person who registers watches first post by default (can be set in admin settings)
- Allow only staff to post in the Announcements category to protect users from spam (can be set in category settings)
Now when you post in Announcements, everyone gets the notification, including people who haven’t signed in because with them watching first post, they’ll get emailed with the full text of the post.

这正是我们所做的。我曾一度感到困惑，因为需要置顶一个新的横幅，但又希望确保用户仍能访问之前的横幅和公告。毕竟，公告通常包含有用的信息，但一旦阅读完毕，如果仍然保留在界面上，用户就再也看不到它们了。因此，我将该分类下接收首帖的选项设为默认开启，并将每个新公告设为一个新主题。这样既保留了历史记录，所有用户都可以阅读，但只有管理员可以发帖。每个公告都会被置顶，直到被新的公告取代。当然，用户可以选择不关注公告，但据我观察，这是最受关注的频道之一。

我也是。这句话真不错。我也是搜索这个选项时偶然发现了这个帖子。
但这确实是个要点，而且说得很好。谢谢 @awesomerobot

不太确定你在这里关于置顶的具体操作，能详细说明一下吗？既然每个人都会收到最新公告帖的通知，那为什么还需要置顶帖呢？我有点好奇……
我认为，上述功能请求的主要意图可以通过“推荐置顶/新帖”与“定时摘要”的组合来实现。
这里的大量需求其实源于新闻通讯的使用场景。将一个新闻通讯主题与针对访问用户/活跃用户的置顶帖，以及针对非活跃/被动用户的定时摘要相结合，我相信能够满足大部分需求。
不过目前，我不确定是否可以通过以下方式安排摘要：

横幅置顶。适用于选择不观看新帖的用户。同时，这也是我们按季度征集赞助的地方。
最初发布此内容时，“先看首帖”是我的首选策略，但该功能在我们的网站上存在一个漏洞：启用该功能后，新账户无法激活。我后来从未检查过团队是否已找到修复方案。

谢谢。我现在已将其作为测试实施（不进行置顶，但默认关注首帖），接下来看看社区的反应……我想摆脱电子邮件通讯，因为 Mailch*** 之类的工具实在太麻烦了
