Then turn off the feature.
New users dont know how to turn it on.
The emails can explain how to turn it off.
So the feature sends out one email per watchlist edit?
If so, I can imagine a few users finding themselves with hundreds of
emails before they next checked their mail and saw any opportunity to
switch it off.
Could a site banner be put up just to let users know it's there,
perhaps with a link to a page of explanation about what it does and
how to switch it on? Sounds better to me than risking potential
surprise email barrages.
