    In recent weeks/months I'm getting these unsolicited emails from BigSoccer which I never got before, and which I don't really want to receive. They're like weekly highlights of various content/posts found on BS.

    I checked my Profile settings to see if there was some communication setting related to this, which I'd mistakenly left enabled, but I found nada. (Personally the only time I wish to receive an email from BS is when someone replies to a PM/conversation, and I have a setting to reflect that)

    So can someone in charge of this, please stop this from happening in future? For me and perhaps other BS members? Thanks.

    Here's a sample of the latest email I received, just in case it helps:

    @Gittnbizzee has also received one today (and one last month), also without having a setting to receive one.

    I did not receive the email either time.

    These go out periodically and highlight some of the weeks interesting topics.

    There is a link at the bottom of the newsletter to unsubscribe and if you aren't interested in the mail, just click ;)

    as long as they're confirmed as actually being from you, that's what we'll do - but if they were spam/phishing mail to seem like they were from you instead, then one should never click links.

    edited to add: to "unsubscribe" - one should have first subscribed
     
    soccernutter repped this.

    Thanks. I just got the latest email, clicked Unsubscribe, and opted out.

    But really we shouldn't really be opted into this by default, me thinks.
