Hey I don't know why I'm getting emails every time this blog is updated or how to stop those emails. I'm a new user with only a handful of edits under my belt so I really am not the target audience for this blog and I think it's kind of lame I was automatically enrolled to receive them just by giving my email address to Wikia. Moving on, I went into my user preferences and all I have checked is to receive emails when pages I'm following are edited and when my Talk page is edited and when another user messaged me. I would still like to know when my Talk page is edited, etc, and so am unsure as to what I should uncheck in order that I don't receive emails with these blog updates. If anybody can give me some advice that'd be great.

edit: Okay crisis averted I found the button so that I wouldn't receive emails when the blog is updated. I still would to voice the opinion that new users shouldn't be automatically signed up to receive blog updates. Like I hinted at earlier, I think these blogs have content more experienced users would find interesting. More experienced users will have explored their settings to the point they'll have found the 'subscribe to blog' button and so there's no need to enroll people in emails about new blog updates when they first sign up. Actually I didn't just sign up today but I did make my first post in a long time around the time I started receiving blog updates. Not sure how that works but I definitely didn't sign up to receive blog updates.
