Lock email notifications for users

[#1]

I'd like to be able to set some email notifications so users can't turn them off. For example, we tag users in comments rather often and I don't want someone to turn off the notification and then end up missing an important update or question.

Agreed - would like admin control on much more levels to ensure communications are consistent and experience is consistent and then give users some additional bells and whistles they can modify - but keep core function controlled at the admin level.

I don't agree with this. Users should be able to manage their own notification preferences because, after all, they are responsible for their actions. If a user decides to turn off notifications, they must be aware of the consequences that might bear. Good initiative, though.
