I just registered here a couple of days ago and strangely enough I was spammed a lot of unnecessary e-mails, resulting from tons of notifications created here on this forum.
I went into my profile preferences, toned down the settings and finally turned of Mailing List Mode, as apparently this was causing the immense spam.
Now, to double check, I went back to my profile preferences and saw that Mailing List Mode was still turned on. I turned it off again, checked back and saw it has once again been overriden, as it apparently is forced globally onto every user.
How can I turn off Mailing List Mode for good? I’d have to basically discard all e-mails from this forum, if I wanted to stop getting spammed when Mailing List Mode stays on, which means I would also discard e-mails that are actually worth interacting with.
The default setting for every Discourse forum I have been on (which is tons) is having it turned off. That’s why this is the only Discourse forum that creates this issue.
P.S.:
Does this mean also, everyone get’s this topic as an e-mail sent to them?
