A way to "unsubscribe" from forums... I'm tired of getting notifications on my phone...

I'm currently subscribed to the NA News forum, and while this seems like a good idea, I'm growing tired of having my phone notify me of the 1,000,000 posts about Paypal gift payments or not being a dick.  Before someone chimes in with "turn off email notification on your phone"... step in front of a bus.  Some of us use our email for work.  The problem isn't my phone, it's not having an option to opt out of emails.

I've tried to unsubscribe, but all it appears I can do is subscribe to a different thread.  A reset of the settings did not help.  As a workaround, I have set up a filter to automagically delete any emails from [email protected] but this seems less-than-elegant.

I've stopped collecting... and now everything is UP FOR GRABS!

What do I have FOR SALE today???

No dice, that's only for subscribed threads. I'm talking about a [sub]forum subscription. I get email from every thread under the news forum.

I'm talking about Profile Settings -> Forum Settings -> Category Subscription
