Is there actually anyone out there who wants to get emails from a forum forever just because they made a post once asking for help? I truly can’t fathom why on earth anyone would ever be stupid enough to make that be the default, unless it’s for marketing - in which case it’s quite literally spam.

This is still our current stance: [图片] mcwumbly: 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…

An admin makes that decision, and it is a policy that should discuss on that level.

To be fair to the OP: not every community is meta (:heart:). If I need help to get some error message resolved on some software product I purchased, that doesn’t make me overflow with warmth for that product community necessarily.
