vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Opt-Out Forums from Get New/Get Daily

I know there's no support offered for this mod but I figured, what the hell... I'd ask anyway!

What I've done is made 2 forums for RSS feeds to pull in new competitions and the like, but it hammers New Posts with, well... New posts. I found this hack, installed it, set up the permissions so that only the two new forums for RSS feeds are eligible for optout.

HOWEVER, due to the amount of posts that are generated via the RSS... I thought, instead of having the user optout, is there a simple query I can run to make it so they have to optin?

More to the point, I want to be able to allow the majority of my users to ignore the massive influx of RSS feed posts while allowing the small minority who would benefit from the information to optin.

Thanks and I hope someone out there is still listening!
