WP.org notifications pick up camptix serialised post data

[simonwheatley]

I got a mildly puzzling email from the WP.org notifications service when I bought my Summit ticket this morning. Apparently I'd been mentioned in a post which contained serialized PHP data… basically the tix_attendee post created to record my ticket has a term (simonwheatley) which triggers a notification to me.

I'm fairly savvy, so I worked out what was going on… but if Camptix is going to be used by regular folks for WordCamp ticketing, it might become an issue?

Perhaps the notification service could allow some post types to opt out of notications? Or perhaps the serialised data could be stored in a post meta field?

Thanks for reporting this @simonwheatley, will deal with it on the WordPress.org side :)
