But make it opt-in, bi-weekly, and if you can't make this happen, I might eschew the idea altogether.
Unfortunately, we really have no control over this. We are trying this out as a beta test for the Reddit admins, and while we're going to pass along all of the criticism and praise being posted here for the way this is coming off, I just want to stress that we can't make *anything* happen because this is a Reddit architecture issue, and not some service we've created.

I think that part is actually very clear. My point is probably more accurately stated as: until such time Reddit introduces a methodology into their architecture that allows opt-in, then I would strongly recommend against the idea.
If I block modmessages to opt out now, and then Reddit introduces a service that allows this idea to happen after the fact, is the only way I will find out is via word-of-mouth?
There just doesn't seem to be a less invasive middle-ground.
Feels like there's more reasons not to do it over reasons to do so.
