Prevent creator from automatically being added as a subscriber
One answer
It might be possible to create a follow up action/participant that removes the creator as subscriber after the initial save. This is actually really likely possible and most of the code required is on https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/ .

Ralph,
It's not a bug (since it is working as designed), but you can certainly request an enhancement. There is of course a simple workaround ... just have the creator delete themselves as a subscriber after they create the work item.

I would have to disagree its working as designed. The design appears to have the ability to configure emails based on three categories. There are HCIs to support this, and web articles describing it. The implementation only allows two. If the system did not automatically subscribe you there would be no loss of functionality, only improved email filtering, uses wouldn't even know it changed with the default settings.. I agree with you the defect has a standard priority/severity classification of "3", which means there is a workaround, but still a defect. But its such an easy fix (much easier then the workaround when applied to the 3000 workitems we wrote this month), you would think IBM would jump at actually fixing a defect so they could claim resolution.
It is working as designed. This works this way since RTC 1.0 beta by the way.
That you disagree with the design is an entirely different matter. It is valid to state your disagreement in an enhancement request though.
