Comment:
Reopening. I'm still getting spammed, and frankly this is getting pretty
fucking ridiculous I even need to lecture you folk about not spamming
people.
Summarizing; per comment #16763:3, y'all want it such that touching a bug
/ever/ means you get notified /forever/. This is not a limitation in
trac, this is an intentional configuration setting (always_notify_updater
= true per comment #16763:6, and knowing that this is /not/ tracs default
behavior). Basically, spamming everyone for the benefit of people who
can't be bothered to get off their ass and use a CC field properly.
Combine this w/ the lack of an actual opt-out method (per regulations,
page is required, or opt out link in the email; this page no longer
qualifies going by the fact I'm /still/ getting fucking email), puts this
pretty squarely in the realm of violating the US CAN-SPAM act.
Interesting note, django foundation is US based... hmmm. legally bound are
we? Same for adrian.
Seriously, I shouldn't have to point this shit out, point out the laws
y'all are bound by, nor even consider targeted multiplicative forwards to
annoy people into cleaning it up. Do it correctly rather than half assing
it and I'll shut up, and likely so shall others. No illwill intended, but
y'all need to sort this properly.

result in me getting ongoing spam).
