Signup to Forum forcing SPAM

I signed on to ask a question about service, and during the sign-on process, I was forced to agree to spam notifications. This needs to be fixed because it violates Canada's anti-spam law. This needs to be resolved, as I am reporting this violation.

Azure User - thanks for your feedback. This has been previously identified as needed to be updated to separate the two items.

While it is not SPAM that you would receive it could be described as content that you do not want for yourself, we certainly understand the desire to not opt in for both the forum and these updates with the same dialog.

I will remind the team about this so they can work on changes.

Thanks again for letting us know.

Same problem is persisting years later. Microslop is just refusing to fix this.
