Hello!

I'd like an option to disable notifications for people joining the jams I run. Every time I run GBJam I get an email once a day telling me x people have joined the jam. There are no options for these in the notification settings.

The same is true of the bell icon - I get notifications in the bell icon for people joining the jam and as soon as I've cleared it I have new notifications for people joining the jam.

I would still like to know about community posts and submissions to the jam.

So in summary:
1) an option to disable website alerts on people joining my jam
2) an option to disable being told about people joining my jam via email

Thanks!

Couldn't agree more with this.

Before moderating a jam, itch notifications were the most exciting thing for me to see on the website. It usually means someone has commented on one of my games, and that's information I want immediately - every time.

But since being a mod, notifications have swapped from being the most important, most interesting thing for me to see when I open the website; to the most boring, most disappointing things for me to see. 

I don't care if 3 new people have joined a jam with 4,000 participants. It's not information I need. 

I appreciate the way it could help someone hosting their new jam for the first time. Watching the first 20 participants roll in would be as good as recieving a comment. But there comes a point where it's too much - and needs to be turned off.

Please, please, please act on Polyduck's request for this setting.

Thank you :)

why is this even a notification? no one needs a notification for this. also i sent in a report about this over a month ago. haven’t heard anything back from itch.io support.

Yeah we need this badly. The email notification customization is rather awkward on Itch. I don't want to have to turn off all my worthwhile email notifications just to get around spam.

it’s showing up in my dreams…

Someone got it on their fitbit today.

i don’t know if you guys know this, but…

Could someone from the admin team please respond? It's almost been a year since this thread was started and several years of notifications and emails like this.
