Title: Geekhack Notification Spam
Post by: See Spot Solder on Sat, 26 March 2016, 00:33:50

Is anyone else getting endlessly spammed by Geekhack? I had notifications turned on for a few threads, which normally should be fine. However, I was getting ENDLESS notifications, even when no one had posted something new in the topic. I have turned notifications off and unsubscribed from every topic and I am STILL getting 30-50 emails a day from Geekhack. Any ideas? I'm about to set up a filter to just delete everything coming into my email with "Geekhack" in it.

I've set an email filter for it a while ago

It seems like it's a backlog of notifications.  Clackvent probably hasn't been too nice on the server.

Ah, makes sense. I'll just do the same then.
Kinda wish it were working though! Constantly checking back on topics is slightly annoying.

Yea. Last year's clackvent I remember getting the emails days afterward.

I just changed my settings and stopped GH from sending me any emails
