Here on Meta I have the ai tag muted (I simply don’t want to see it) and my notification preferences for Announcements is set to watching first post so I get notified for new posts, which works as intended, but posts tagged ai are not excluded from emails or user notifications.
I’m not sure if this is a Bug or just an oversight so it’s here for now but having this fixed would be great
Seems like it was reported here:
That was about a different topic and in the end we found out that while the topic was now in a category that wasn’t watched it had been in one before which caused the notification.
I just have hte announcement category watched and the ai tag muted entirely:
Can you still look at the checkbox in your preferences? Otherwise, we won’t know whether it’s expected that you are notified because we cannot say if watching Announcements or muting ai is supposed to win.
Sometimes it’s a little difficult to find the checkbox, but you can enter something into the category watching field if it’s not visible otherwise.
As I said before, sadly, the checkbox I am interested in is not visible without adding a category to the watching field (no need to save it).
