Okay, now earlier on this module didn't allow an optional unsubscribe, so I implemented a work around so I can use this module and still give users the ability to do so.

I used apply for role, so now all the people who are subscribed (through my old system) have a seperate role from those who are not subscribed.

Since then, when I've been doing updates, I've kept the opt out ability deactivated since I solved it by other means already. However, I'd prefer not to have the extra role sitting around with no additional perms. It doesn't really hurt things, but the permissions page is huge currently and I'm working on deleting extra roles now.

So, I'm wondering if there's a way to easily apply the opt out to everyone who doesn't have a specific role. I do have access to the MySQL database, and can make queries to it without issue (will test on a development version, back up prior etc). I just don't know where the option to opt out is kept.

Sorry for the late reply.

It seems to me that if you wanted to exclude all users who were not members of a specific role, then making a category that only includes that role would serve your purposes.

It is kept in the users table as part of the data field. There is data there from other modules, as well.
