You're not the only one, bub. Same problem.

And yes, all my receive email/notification options are turned off.

Really starting to piss me off. Can't even comment on reviews or articles anymore. It's too much hassle.

Negative. It's very fast and obviously new when it happens. I took the time to delete all the old ones, commented on that stupid COD thread, and ten minutes later I've hundreds of emails again. Hit unsubscribe, they stopped. Waited a bit, no messages. Commented again, not two minutes later BAM here they come again

Gamespot is now directed to my junk folder.... As much as I like Danny's 'The Point', I don't want every comment made by every person after mine appear on my email.

oddly enough, even though I have my notifications off, I still get some e-mails. not flooding, but they still get through.

only solution would be to add gamespot to your spam list for now.
