            I'm in favor of this feature - if users are afraid of spam when they are mentioned, when they get an update, you should have a link that offers to "stop watching"

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue.

            Due to the large volume of JIRA feature suggestions, we have to prioritise our development efforts. In part, that means concentrating on those issues that resonate the most with our users.

            I am writing this note to advise you, that we have decided to close your Suggestion as it has not gained traction on jira.atlassian.com. We believe being upfront and direct with you will assist you in your decision making rather than believing Atlassian will eventually address this issue.

            Thank you again for your suggestion and if you have any concerns or question, please don’t hesitate to email me.
            Kind Regards,

            I agree with Mark - this issue has a huge potential to bother people. I think it's probably something that we should not fix.

            If we did this, then let the user decide if they want to "auto-watch when mentioned".

            Maybe a global setting for the "default value" that users would pick up unless they explicitly choose something else.

            edalgliesh This issue seems to be tagged with JIRA and this sounds JIRA specific. If you agree then please pull it into the JIRA project.
