@Todd Baumann members should receive notifications only when they're watching (subscribed to) a card, list or board, unless they're mentioned in a comment or added/removed to/from a card or a board:
https://help.trello.com/article/793-receiving-trello-notifications
If you're receiving notifications in addition to this you may be experiencing the same issue reported here:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/user-getting-all-notifications-from-entire-Trello-board-but-not/qaq-p/1064213#M14072
Which appears to be a bug ... can you clarify if that's what you're referring to?
