Yep, actually after some more thinking about it I came to the same conclusion that it would be better not to spam folks unless they choose to. Thanks for raising your voice on this.
If you see other opportunities for improving the way we do things with the website (layout, content, etc.) do speak up! One thing I will do at some point is add some guides e.g. for criminal mastermind & elite challenges, and maybe for a few more things (not sure yet whether to do this as part of the forum, as part of the blog, or just as plain static content… too much choice! 🙂 ).
