Answers ignoring a Preferences setting?

All you can do is hope they fix the glitch that's causing users to be emailed when they don't want to be. You can set a rule in your email (depending on which email client you use) to send those emails straight to the trash or some other specific folder, so you don't get them in your inbox. Of course, it will also send any BA notifications to the designated folder as well.

Email Notifications are Broken and have not been working Correctly in Quite some time the only thing you can do Unfortunately is Mark it as Spam and It wont go to your Regular Inbox anymore

UNcheck the box underneath one of the questions you answer. I haven't received any of those emails for 5 or more days.

The only way to avoid this is to subscribe to a premium paid account.

There's always a ton of sh*t broken here.

Another recent one, coupled with the idiotic decision to eliminate the specific source line, is that paragraph breaks are getting all lost, such that paragraphs run right into each other.

YA sux.

 This is a glitch that is happening to everyone, including myself. Editing your preferences does not help me. I do not have that box checked but I still get the same emails so disregard that. Nothing we can do but wait until Verizon Media fixes this glitch. I just hope that it is soon.

Same problem here. Been going on about 4 days. I hope it's just a temporary glitch. I've spent at least an hour deleting the stupid things

That is a glitch. You have to wait until they fix it. There is nothing you can do until then.
