Stop following comments on a blog post
-
My mailbox is being swamped by follow-up emails after commenting on a blog post (and ticking the box to be notified). I saw some forums explaining how to stop receiving themm and also checked here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/following-comments. But it’s not working to me.
At the bottom of the emails I’m receiving, I do see a link to modify my subscription options: “Want less email? Unsubscribe from all follow-up comments or modify your Subscription Options.”
But when I click any of those, the blog from which I’m receiving the follow-up emails is not listed.
What should I do to stop receiving these emails?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. If you signed up to follow the comments while logged in to your WordPress account you should be able to manage it via the Reader.
Click on Edit next to the Blogs I Follow heading. Find the blog in question and edit the settings for that blog. There should be an option to switch comment notifications off. You can also change the settings to receive a daily or weekly digest of notifications rather than an email every time there’s a comment. http://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#manage-email-and-im-settings-for-specific-blogs

Thanks for your reply, but the blog is not even listed among the ones I follow (because in fact I never followed it; I just posted a comment there).
Do you know another way to stop receiving those comments, other than block the blog?

Could you please provide the URL of the blog or the specific post you’re receiving the notifications from?
-
Yes. The blog post is here: http://iwantedwings.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/a-response-to-women-against-feminism

Thanks. I’ll tag this for staff to follow up. Hopefully they’ll be able to remove that post form your notifications. Please be patient while waiting for their reply.

Thank YOU.
It’s not that bad: the blogger accepts the comments in bulks, so I don’t get them often. However, I got more than 100 comments at once, nothing in two days and now I’m hoping a lot more next time :) -
Hello there,
Can you try following the site by clicking the “Follow” button found in the admin bar as you visit it?

Then, go to your blog subscription settings here:
https://wordpress.com/following/edit/
And make sure that both “Send new posts by email” and “Send new comments by email” are turned off.
Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

I’m not receiving anything, guys. However, because there are no comments posted on that blog since Aug 6, I’m not sure if it worked or not. I’ll have to wait a bit more to confirm.
Thanks for your patience.
