    Mod subscribed to everything

    I have a mod that says that they are subscribed to everything. I just wondered if there was a way to stop this and they could just subscribe to topics of their own choosing?

    Make sure these are set to NO

    AdminCP > Channel Management > Moderator Permissions. Click Edit Permissions for their account, then scroll down at the bottom and set the below settings to No.

      I did see that suggestion when I Googled it but it reads like to just switch off email notifications for that moderator (the last 2 options in the checkbox list) ?

        Yes. That is what you would have to do.

        They would still get notifications for content that they subscribe to either manually or through the settings they choose on the Notifications tab of their Settings Page.

            No. Those permissions are not real subscriptions. They would only be subscribed to things that they have clicked the Subscribe button on or those items they replied to if their settings are set this way.

            I live by subscriptions on this site and this is exactly how I have my account setup. I am not subscribed to everything and only receive notifications for the content that I choose to be notified of.

              Ok. Oh, hang on though, they already appear to be clicked to No. Are these the options?

                Then the user will need to manually unsubscribe from the items they no longer wish to be subscribed to.
