Our forum implementation has an “Announcements” category, and all user accounts are automatically watching the first post in it. We’ve also put our Community Guidelines topic in there and have not realized that when we make updates to the guildelines, most users would get email notifications about it.
As such, is there a way to create or edit a topic in this category without triggerring notifications? I don’t want to override the setting for all users permanently.
This is a fair assessment and I appreciate you taking the time to answer. The dilema is that we want to keep the Community Guidelines in a category where it would be percieved to apply across the whole forum, not just specific to a category where we’d move it. As such “Announcements” makes most sense within our structure. But the drawback is that every edit will trigger notifications that it would make sense to avoid sometimes.
