How to UNsubscribe from Solicitations I get via PM

"The Horror. The Horror".

Okay, I give. I guess I just don’t see those as solicitations like the OP. I thought he meant vendor solicitations, which technically those are. It’s easy to move on though. I guess I don’t see why the angst.
I feel mild disappointment thinking someone messaged me and mildly inconvenienced when I have to click through to get rid of the notification. That said the site is free to use and I don't contribute anything so it's a worthwhile price to pay.
 
It is irritating. I see red icon and I think,

"Oh! This is so exciting! Finally someone wants to talk to me. I might have friend."

Then I see it is girl. I get even more excited. This is first time this has happen to me.

I open message to meet love of my life!

"Сука булат! This is only stupid capitalistic marketing message about contest I will never win! Pizdec."

I now go back to my autistic lurking on the Hide again.

So disappointing. Stop blueballing me, @Lowlight !

maybe they're implementing this "feature" to increase their ability to push marketing. To increase the site value, to get a better price when they sell to VerticalScope (parasites).

I've seen 5 different forum owners claim they'd never sell out.
They are all owned by vertical scope and virtually abandoned now.

I don't blame them. They get a nice little payday along with dropping all costs associated with hosting and maintaining the site.
I know Frank will retire someday, but I have a strong inkling if he was looking to sell out it would have happened back in the Scout days. I know that predates most around here, but if you were around then you’d likely agree.
