Comment 2 for bug 330550

+1 on just doing it. In the rare cases where a user wants to say "this affects me" but doesn't want to be subscribed, they can still unsubscribe manually (which would not change the "affects me" status).

Funny UI notes:

Since this bug affects me :-), I just clicked on both "Email me about changes to this bug report" and on the "change" button next to "this bug doesn't affect me". Well, sort of: first I got confused about how the email-me checkbox differs from subscribing. Then, after deciding they probably mean the same thing even though they have completely different UIs, I clicked the email-me button first followed by the affects-me button... unfortunately, the latter reloads the page, so I lost the comment I had just typed. Didn't see that coming. Did everything over again, except that now I didn't have to click the affects-me button because it was already checked.

I wonder if there's already some bug filed for "Clicking on anything that doesn't look like it should navigate away from the page should also never reload the page, so that other (potentially unsaved) inputs on the page are not lost."
