Yes. An idea submitter automatically becomes a subscriber/follower of the campaign the idea was submitted to, and can select Unsubscribe from the campaign to stop receiving notifications for it. #### What email notifications does a campaign subscriber receive? A campaign subscriber receives email notifications when a new idea is submitted to the campaign, when a new comment is submitted on an idea in the campaign, and when the stage of an idea in the campaign changes. #### Who can see the list of a campaign's subscribers? All authenticated members of the community can see the campaign subscriber list, including each subscriber's display name, username, and subscription date and time, unless Community-Wide Anonymity is enabled (see Exceptions). #### Can a Moderator view hidden subscribers in the subscriber list? No. Only the Community Administrator can view the details of subscribers who have hidden their identity in the community, and only when Community-Wide Anonymity is not enabled. --- **Related Articles** -
