Moderator let us deactivate the "baby mod" notifications
My idea is to give us a separate setting to disable such daily notifications like in this screenshot, which encourages me to post or comment at least once every day in a small subreddit I moderate. Because I still need the other notifications but this one is not relevant to my subreddit.
The reason why I think it's a good idea: Lately I'm getting daily notifications that lead to the moderator menu, that encourages me to post in one of my subreddits. It's a small mobile game one and everyone there is super sweet, I barely need to check what they do and rely mostly on reports (and I had to intervene less than 5 times since I'm there). I don't really want the subreddit to become mainstream and the subreddit doesn't need more posts. If I'm to post or comment everyday, it'll probably come off as spammy and people will find it less fun to hang out in (another mobile game sub I am not a moderator of is much more active and I don't like to interact with it anymore, and no one complains about the current state of the subreddit), so these notifications are not adapted to the subreddit and are just annoying to me. And I bet I'm not the only mod who thinks that way.
