Wait! Don’t hit the spam button!
If you received an email asking you to confirm your subscription to our email newsletter(s) and didn’t try to subscribe to emails, we’ve very sorry!
But not to worry! If you don’t click the confirm button or link, you won’t be signed up to our email list.
Like many to most websites we keep an email list for subscribers who want to be notified about new content.
However, anyone — bots or humans — can come along and enter an email address into a subscribe form.
So we have double optin enabled to prevent unsuspecting people from getting automatically signed up for our email list. If there’s an attempt to sign up for our email newsletters with your email address, a confirmation email will go out asking you to confirm that you really want to sign up. Don’t click the button and you will not be signed up.
We’ve also received questions about it “creating an account.” Receiving a newsletter confirmation email does NOT mean an “account” was created for you on our website. However, our registration process does have a newsletter checkbox. Chances are, if you get this email and did not try to subscribe, it was a bot trying to subscribe through one of our forms. But if you’re concerned, we’ll check and make sure no account was created for you if you contact us. However, there’s very little chance that this happened UNLESS you also received an email asking for account confirmation as we also have two-step subscription for user accounts.
While we’d love to have you subscribe to our email newsletters and updates, we don’t believe that anyone should be signed up who truly does not want to be.
