quote=“Pkoevesdi, post:5, topic:313246, username:pkoevesdi”] we want old users to must-read new posts. And we don’t want to make them confirm these. Up to now, we have a mailing list and send important messages to that list. Now we move to discourse and still want to make sure, certain messages (= first posts) are delivered to their E-Mail-Account. [/quote] For important notices that you want to reach everyone’s mailboxes, I think you could try to send out a PM to [@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0), if you set that group to allow receiving PMs – but I’m not too sure. Though people may not receive it in their emails if they turn off email notifications. If you want to allow public replies, you could make an accompanying public topic. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/watching-category-mandatory/313246)._
