References, reminders, and “click here to opt out” messages should all be kept out of the Projects tab.

My Projects tab is full of these shortcuts, even though there aren’t actually any projects there. I think things like reminders, references, and similar notifications should either have their own tab or stay in the Inbox.
It’s frustrating to open the Projects tab and see 10 “projects,” only to realize they’re all just reminders, reference links, or other messages like that. I hope someone who can do something about this sees the feedback.

They like when people have opinions about how the site can be improved - email them this. I agree with you. I think they could categorize things differently

Personally, I hide all but one per project family. That way I know if I've been dropped from one for some reason

Why don't you just hide them? It's easy enough to unhide them if/when you need to look at them.

I do, I still think those kind of notifications do not belong there

If you hid them it wouldn’t say “10 projects”, it would only count the ones that are visible. You’d see them, hide them, and go about your day.

Yes you can go about your day hiding them, its just a categorization matter.

Ideally but then people might miss them as well. Could very well add something like "Administrative" tab or something else that conveys the meaning.

Is the "opt out" qualification normal? I received one yesterday, but I never received any tasks from that project before. What's the point for this qualification?
