• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Ever since I subscribed to this site, I've been receiving emails for things as insignificant as 'EmptyHusk, X user replied to a thread you are watching at Questionable Questing.' when I find alerts to be all I need.

Is there a way to stop receiving these emails? I've already looked through the options, but even with 'Receive site mailings,' 'and receive email notifications of replies,' and 'and receive OP email notifications' turned off, the emails don't stop, and then can pile up quite fast. I also haven't been able to find any other option that seems related to emails.

I was told to make sure to ping the admins tehelgee and alethiophile for this problem.
 
The site mailings option you mentioned is specifically for forum-wide emails from the admins. I've never used it before, as a notice will do the same job.

When you post in or create a thread, you have the option to set the thread as watched when you go to More Options. This is where your emails are coming from.

https://forum.questionablequesting.com/watched/threads/all

For some reason, the option to disable watched thread emails is squirreled away on this page. I don't know where the link is on each style, so here's a direct link to the action to stop all emails from your watched threads.

This should stop the emails.
 
Thank for clarifying that. Should I change the threads titles and tag, seeing how it wasn't actually a bug?
