Forum posts have become spam!
Starting yesterday, Feb 3, my email account has been getting blown up with Cox Support Forum posts. I have never subscribed to the forum (although I do regularly brows it). Last night and again today...

I would be better if Cox did not do this in the first place.
Cox wouldn't have had anything to do with this. It was most likely caused when their software vendor was fixing something else and accidentally enabled an existing email notification process that had been disabled for years. But, it appears the emails have stopped now.
Mine still are coming in and I went and unsubscribe a few days ago I’m getting real pissed
