DISCOVERY EMAILS ARE ANNOYING WHEN . . .
its not really a Discovery since I had already attached it to my ancestors. Now, if you emailed hints occassionally as a compaign, that would be super helpful and much appreciated. I am now ignoring all of your campaign emails. I don't think that result was your goal. I hope you can modify the programming for the campaigns.
Thank you.

The majority of the people getting the discovery emails are not the people who attached the hint/image, etc. You can just ignore the email if you don't think it applies to you.

Please advise.
.
As, sending us (personally), through "Notifications" (ie. "Discoveries") in 'FamilySearch', such "Memorials" (ie. 'Headstones'), that are ALREADY attached, to our Ancestors; and, especially, those that WE, ourselves, attached, is REDUNDANT; and, somewhat, demeaning.
.
You NEED to IMMEDIATELY address/fix your Campaign of "Memorials" (ie. My Relatives’ Headstones.).
.
You NEED to, "Filter" OUT, of your Campaign of, "Memorials" (ie. My Relatives’ Headstones.), SUCH "Memorials" (ie. 'Headstones'), that are ALREADY attached, to our Ancestors; especially, those that WE, ourselves, attached.
.
'Thank You' in advance.

Submitted for your, information; attention; and, consideration.

"Campaigns" in 'FamilySearch' are SIMPLY to ENGERNDER participation in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', by the LESS frequent Users/Patrons, rather than HELP the MORE frequent Users/Patrons.

"Campaigns" in 'FamilySearch' are NOT substantial (for want of a better word...) "Programmes" (or, "Research Helps"), to HELP the experienced Users/Patrons with their Genealogical/Family History research.

'FamilySearch', DOES NOT have, either, the 'Time'; or, the resources (as the resources are vey limited), to MAKE the "Campaigns" in 'FamilySearch', more solid; more specific; adjustable to suit individual Users/Patrons needs or preferences; or, the like.

MANY User/Patrons SIMPLY "Ignore" the 'Discovery' "Notifications" (or, even, "E-mails") from the various "Campaigns".

"Ignoring" the the 'Discovery' "Notifications" (or, even, "E-mails") from the various "Campaigns", is what many experienced Users/Patrons so - of course; as, long as they are 'vigilant' for the "Odd" GOOD/Useful "Campaign" - I have found the "Odd" one or two.
.
And, MANY other User/Patrons SIMPLY "Turn Off" the "E-mails" from the various "Campaigns"; whereas, I am NOT certain, if such, ALSO "Turns Off" the 'Discovery' "Notifications" from the various "Campaigns" - I have NOT tried that - I WANT to receive ALL such "Campaigns", regardless - just on the 'off chance'.
.
The "Downside" of "Turning Off" the notifications from the various "Campaigns" (or, going 'cold turkey') is that, you can MISS the "Odd" GOOD/Useful "Campaign".
.
Just my thoughts.
