We promised our users ages ago that we’d email them when Episode 2 was launched. This was one of the most often requested features during the Episode 1 Beta, since players had finished the content and wanted to be notified when they could come back to play more.
So far, any emails you’d receive from the Forumwarz site were related to your Tubmail, Flamebate threads or forgetting your password. This is actually the first email we’ve ever sent out announcing a new feature. In fact, if you’re reading this blog you are probably an active user and will never see the announcement emails: we are only sending them to accounts that aren’t highly active already.
Since we take spam very seriously, it’s really important to us to allow users to opt out of receiving this kind of correspondance easily.
There is a new option on your Options page, “Email me Forumwarz related news”, which is checked by default. If you uncheck it, you will NEVER receive announcements of new features via email.
Additionally, each email we sent out related to this kind of content has a unique “unsubscribe” link. If you click it, you will be opted out instantly. Unlike other sites we don’t ask you to enter your email address again or jump through any hoops: just one click and you’re good to go.
