If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

I'd like to gather opinions on the Topic Notification emails you can receive from this forum when you click "Subscribe" at the bottom of a topic.
For whatever reason, a few people seem to do this by accident and then get unhappy about receiving the emails. Last week one person (with over 10,000 posts) lodged 1,106 spam complaints against us, which resulted in our becoming blacklisted from some services, impairing our ability to deliver important emails like password resets and WA invitations.
Email delivery has been an enormous pain in my butt for a long time, and at this point I'm jacked enough with the whole thing to want to just turn off all topic notification emails. But I wanted to get thoughts on how important they are to people, as well as hear if there's some way to accidentally subscribe to them, or receive too many, about which I'm not aware. Thanks.

I have no clue what sort of options (if any) are available, but I figured it might be worth asking.
Also, is there an "unsubscribe" link in the emails themselves? I've never signed up for these, so I'm not sure.

There is, see here for a screenshot from such email.
Now that you brought it up, i honestly don't understand the complaints anymore considering you can make a quick end to the emails by simply clicking the link...

So I guess I have a follow-up question: would it potentially be possible to add another link that would remove the player/email in question from all subscription emails?

Granted, I can see where you're coming from here. It may just be more practical for the Notifications to show up on the "Notices" section, here on NS, where you normally just get told about Telegrams and Issues.
