What should I distinguish when stopping one type of notification versus all marketing?
Check the purpose and scope of the choice. Stopping one type of product or community activity is a narrow category preference; stopping all marketing is a broader request about promotional communications. Do not assume that changing one category stops every marketing message, or that an all-marketing request changes account, security, or support notices. Read the exact wording and confirmation for the control you use. This guide does not claim that BSD offers a particular marketing setting or that any one control covers every channel.
For People reviewing communication preferences or deciding what type of message they want to stop · Updated
A category preference is limited to the named activity
A preference that names one type of activity should be understood according to that category’s stated scope. For example, a choice about community activity is different in purpose from a request about promotional messages. Check whether the setting applies to a category, a channel, or both before relying on it.
An all-marketing request is broader than one category
If your goal is to stop marketing communications, look for wording that explicitly covers all marketing and the relevant channels. A control limited to one notification type may not express that broader request. Likewise, broader marketing language does not automatically describe account, security, or support communications; follow the exact terms shown for the choice.
Keep a record of the scope you selected
Before confirming, read the preference summary and any confirmation that follows. If no available choice clearly matches your intent, ask the appropriate support contact instead of assuming that a narrow category selection applies everywhere. This is scope guidance, not a description of a shipped BSD marketing-preference screen.
Hypothetical example: one category versus all promotion
A fictional member wants fewer community activity notices and also wants to stop promotional emails. Those are two different goals. They check that the first choice names the activity category and that the second choice explicitly covers marketing, rather than assuming one setting does both.
Related questions
Will turning off one notification type stop every marketing message?
Do not assume so. Check the stated scope and channels; a category-specific choice may be narrower than an all-marketing request.
Does an all-marketing request necessarily stop account or security notices?
The scope depends on the wording and applicable terms. Read the specific preference and confirmation rather than assuming it covers every kind of communication.
