Ability to opt out of moderation notices

[markerikson]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At some point in the last few months, I began receiving notifications that asked me to provide moderation feedback on existing comments. I think the original message I got said that specific members had been picked or had this enabled, and each actual notification includes the phrase "As a trusted member, could you react to this comment so we know it fits our community code of conduct? ".

I'm not particularly active on dev.to, and when I do visit, I don't want to be confronted with a bunch of moderation notices.

Describe the solution you'd like

At a minimum, there should be a setting to turn off moderation requests. Even better, moderation should be opt-in, not auto-enrollment.

@markerikson I'll remove you from those notifications and you're absolutely right that there should be a way to opt-in.

[markerikson]

Thanks. dev.to is great and y'all are doing some cool things, but I've already got enough notification spam to deal with on things that I'm actively involved in :)

[jessleenyc]

Alllllll good. You shouldn't be receiving them anymore! If you do, definitely ping me.

Not stale; I think we should still allow moderators to opt-in/opt-out of this.

@jessleenyc would it be possible to also turn off the notifications for me while this feature is not implemented?

[jessleenyc]

@jvanbruegge I'm just seeing this. Looks like you're also the moderator of a couple of tags. Removing your trusted role might break your tag mod experience. I'll look into if that's the case, but if it is --- would you rather continue being a mod and get those notifications or stop being a mod and stop the notifications?

Perhaps while I'm looking into it, I can just add this setting..but in case I don't, let me know what you'd prefer!

@vaidehijoshi full RFC or not? I always expect an opt-out option for these things so I could throw it in the bug category myself and keep the issue.

I see this being a very straightforward, XS-sized RFC. Should be easy enough to implement, but we'll want to keep our refactoring of all user settings in mind here.
