As long as they have sensible default settings (which I think they do), having detailed control of the types of notifications you want to receive is perfectly fine. If they decide to change default settings to something less desirable, then I think this would be more of a problem.
- jonknee 16y agoDetail isn't the problem, it's that it's needlessly complex to just say "stop sending me email". I shouldn't have to click 20 checkboxes so I can stop being spammed--just make me choose one.
- buddydvd 16y agoAt the bottom of each email, Quora provides a link that lets you stop receiving all notifications from them. It's a two-click process.
- jonknee 16y agoWhy not add the same link to the email settings page?
- buddydvd 16y agoMy guess is that they didn't think of it and no one has requested this feature. Here's a link to a list of feature suggestions submitted by active Quora users: http://www.quora.com/Quora-User-Feedback/What-features-would-make-Quora-better http://www.quora.com/Quora-User-Feedback/What-features-would... Of all the suggestions, Khalid's suggestion seems most relevant to yours: "I just signed up, and was a bit horrified to see 40 odd possible e-mail notifications I could receive. But I was disappointed not to see a link to an RSS feed of those notifications." (http://www.quora.com/Quora-User-Feedback/What-features-would-make-Quora-better/answer/Khalid-J-Hosein http://www.quora.com/Quora-User-Feedback/What-features-would...) Note that his main suggestion is to have Quora provide RSS feeds in place of email notification as opposed to adding a button that lets users disable all email notifications. Like I said earlier, their sensible default settings make this feature somewhat unnecessary.
