Forum Discussion
I didn't write it was a "great discovery." I wrote "we found the unsubscribe procedure 4 years ago."
My point is you keep insisting I only knew of one method to stop spam: leave a group.
You also insist "since someone else figured out that 'Unsubscribe' will prevent" spam, I won't accept it because it conflicts with my one-and-only method and would make me "look bad."
You're now insisting you're the authority to judge when other members make a "bad call" (leave group, use Imgur, unsubscribed 3 times) because it conflicts with your checklist.
This OP wrote the unsubscribe method didn't work, so I wrote to leave the group. You, however, insist she had "no clue" and I made a "bad call" because we conflict with your checklist.
Whether the OP actually did or did not unsubscribe is irrelevant. I won't question her abilities to unsubscribe from a group four minutes after she posted. You, however, insist she needs to preserve her unused picture feature and then harangue her about not actually unsubscribing. Why? To prove I made a "bad call." Why? Revenge for my Chippendales quip.
The truth is I actually do know more methods to stop spam: turn off, leave, unsubscribe. The link to Herm's post was to prove to you others have already been there and done that. You weren't the first to solve any great "mystery." Nobody needs or seeks your credit. Stop judging other members because they conflict with your checklist.
The truth is this stuff is already within the history of the Forum. Others before you have already researched and figured it. Do I need credit? No. It's what most of us do in here. If you were any good at searching, you would have found it. However...
I think you actually did find it because you've noted plenty of times the Save button has been broken for "four" years. Herm's post was four years ago and there were lots of members reporting how the Save button was suddenly broken with different browsers. It was the first time a mod read it, duplicated it and reported it. Coincidence? Doubtful.
You are obsessed with your checklists. You keep pushing your checklists our faces. You do realize you've posted links to your checklists SEVEN times in this ONE post? Okay. We get it. You want us to see what you made. We share it. You need it. You take it.
A year later, you searched "unsubscribe" in the Forum, found my reply, told everyone you had researched, tested and labored
You can write another page to avoid the issue, but this will still be a lie.

What issue am I avoiding? I believe I covered everything.
You could have search with any term: javascript:void, notifications, settings, save, save button, user button, gray...
The fact is the unsubscribe idea predates your checklist by at least one year; therefore, I cannot "look bad" if I recommended it to Herm before you were even a member of the Forum.
The fact is someone else [you] couldn't have figured out "Unsubscribe" prevents spam because, again, we found it before you were even a member of the Forum.
The fact is you keep writing the Save button has been broken for "four" years and Herm's post was four years ago.
The fact is it's easily searchable in the Forum.
Again, I don't want your credit, your approval or to be a part of your checklists. Some courtesy towards others would be nice, but this won't happen. These are just facts disproving your accusations of me looking bad, conflicts, not admitting it and whatever else you've been polluting within the Forum about me.

One sentence only got a 2/3 page reply. How much does two sentences get? Make it three since you didn't retract the lie you posted about me.

I write a lot because you allege a lot.
I provided fun facts disproving your allegations.
Now you provide facts proving you don't know how to search the Forum.

I've never said I was the first person to figure out how to unsubscribe from unwanted notifications. But I did figure it out and I did it without any help from you or the people who went before me. The reason I had to figure it out on my own was because none of those people or Cox ever documented how to do it. Don't tell me you're unsubscribing me from the Internet Forum to stop notifications. Tell me how to do it so that I can do it for myself. I documented the process so that people who come behind me will get the most benefit and enjoyment out of being part of this forum community. This used to be a fun experience. Lately... not so much.

You can join a forum group and not have to receive unwanted notifications. That conflicted with what you had been posting. But, what you'd been saying wasn't a lie then. It was just the only way known at that time to prevent unwanted notifications. You could have just said "Good to know" or something like that and nobody would have given it a second thought. But, since someone else figured out that "Unsubscribe" will prevent unwanted notifications, you thought it would make you look bad.
This kinda reads like you're trying to plant your flag. "It was just the only way known at the time"..."But since someone else [you] figured out'...and to top it off, I'm supposed to thank you for it.
none of those people or Cox ever documented how to do it.
Oh, but it is documented. Just search the Forum and follow the footprints in the snow.
This used to be a fun experience
Of course it's no longer fun for you. I've called you on your disrespect of me and others, so you've devolved into being petty and vindictive. You're accusing me of "bad posts' and "disservice"...writing the OP "has no clue"...and dismissing a simple alternative process to use Imgur.
