I've been trying to get unsubscribed from the WP mailing lists since 2010. My first post on the forum about the problem was made in 2015 (viewtopic.php?t=285069). I've unsubscribed, I've been assured by Alex in both emails and on the forum that it will stop. And tonight I got another one--and you gave my email address to a known spammer.

What do I have to do to get off the mailing list (that I never subscribed to or opted-in to in the first place)?

C'mon guys, it is easier to get off the mailing lists for NPR, Autism Squeaks, or the ASA, than to get this stopped.

EIGHT years???? How is this NOT harassment?

Back in 2015, when I posted about the same problem, you wrote

I'm sorry this happened. I will make sure you stay off the list.


Now you point to my email address still being in my profile--but there is no way to not have an email address in the profile.

Could you enter a fake slightly modified address(like add a number or add or get rid of one letter) or do you have to verify the address when you change it :?:
