Disable "Watches" for new users by default

Hi,

 

currently, when we have a new person joining our company, and we accordingly set up a new confluence account for this user, the user is automatically added as a watcher to our confluence space.

This means that a new employee is bombarded with mails regarding any changes to any page within this space.

 

I know we can ask each user to use the "Stop Watching" functionality by going to "Watches" in their profile settings. autowatch spaces.png

 

Is there, however, a way for us to change the default "watches" of any and all new users we create? That would be a lot more practical if we could simply control the watches for new users on an admin-level.

I found the problem.

For some reason .. the build number at <confluence.home>/confluence.cfg.xml where set to the one of Confluence 4.2.13. 

I changed it back to the one of Confluence 3.5.17 and look .. the Upgrade-Task starts ...
