Confident that users are still receiving ample opportunities to protect their privacy. It's still not difficult for them to opt out, they just can't do it without thinking.

Thanks TLove for posting that. I've been looking for it. Found the template where to edit, but didn't know what removing the option itself would do.

I agree with you. I run my site a similiar way the emails are important, if they want to opt out they can use their own spam filter, or ask for their account to be deleted. No reason to give the opt out option during the sign up process.
