Notifications

[DubWolf 17,263]

I'm wondering if most people receive emails frequently or have them mostly turned off to prevent potentially excess emails  .

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I use to have them on in my earlier days... then getting spammed via gmail and phone notification got very annoying. Now for this and every forum I'm on I have most email notifications off.

I always make sure that sending e-mails for anything like that is disabled. IMO, it serves no purpose other than to clog up your inbox.

[Hierok 11,831]

No. Got annoyed from all the emails saying pretty much only "someone brohhofed your content" and such. 

[SparklingSquirrels 21,342]

Yeah no, or I would be getting like 50 emails from this place each day 

[Jeric 46,851]

Notifications are on, but email is off because my email address isn't synched anymore.

I do get email notifications when I get a PM since I sometimes forget to reply but otherwise I don't like those excessive emails. There are times when I leave my email inbox completely unchecked for a long while so it's just good that it won't get flooded too much.

At least I don't receive emails every time someone posts a status update since the amount of unread emails would be probably about 100 more every week.

I had them on a little bit in the start, but quickly turned them off.

I don't, because I just don't see the need for them, personally. 

[Dreambiscuit 9,794]

I don't get emails for anything because I know I can't be on the forums as much as I would like and being reminded of all the things I can't respond to in a timely manner just makes me feel guilty, especially PMs. I'm already the slowest girl in the world when it comes to answering my messages, so I don't need to be reminded of the fact. 

[Spryzen.0.Zt 75]

No for both. Okie dokie

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I had email notifications when I first started out here, but eventually it got to be too much, especially since I'm the type of person who's gotta have an organized inbox.  

[Narcissus 354]

I don't get notifications for anything. When I'm here I'll check everything I want to check, when I'm not, I don't need to. I don't really need a permanent umbilical attached to the forums when I'm away.

[CypherHoof 26,483]

I have email notifications turned on, but also have a dedicated gmail address just for this - so they are in their own little box, and don't get lost amongst a sea of "the_gobo brohooved your content" notifications

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I have notifications turned off for some of the content I follow and some of it I have notifications turned on. As for PMs, I have notifications turned on for that as well.

[Rainbow Cloud 17,978]

I receive e-mail notifications for PM's but not sure about whether I would for followed content as I'm not following anything.

I turned email notifications off the first day I registered here. I am glad I did!

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'm lucky to get even 1 notification a day, but even so, I still have emails turned off. I really only get emails for really important things.

[Pentium100 2,123]

If someone writes me a PM, it means that person wants to contact me specifically. I get an email notification for that.

For all other stuff (replies in threads, mentions and so on) I do not receive emails. When I visit the site I can check those things then, without the notifications interrupting me or filling up my inbox.

With fanfics, I have email notifications turned on for the fanfics that update infrequently. Fanfics that get updated daily or once every two days I can just check when I am in the mood for reading a fanfic without the notifications filling my inbox. Of course, if the fanfic gets updated once every few months, I turn on a notification for that because I do not want to check up on it every few days and see nothing.

[HeavenSunset 1,867]

Ah yes notifications,

[Savy 5,077]

I only get like 15 a day and it's mostly just status updates. :/ 

[Splashee 28,564]

I should get the maximum of notifications for a day, since I am here daily. I don't know the exact number, but around 50-150 per day or so.

[DubWolf 17,263]

Yeah I remember why I created this thread..

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

I turned off the email settings because if I do want to check something, I come straight to the site. My email would never shut up if I connected it to forums notifications.

Same. 

I felt like I had to turn the email notifications off after I got them for PM's I was in.
