How do I turn off notifications (for replies) on a forum for all users (but still let them be a member)?

Question

So there is a setting on our community that makes every registered member, also a member to a specific subgroup (with a forum that they automatically receive notifications from). 
 I still want everyone to be a member of this subgroup (so they should still be able to see the content), but I do not want everyone to receive notifications for that forum (or at least, not from a reply from that forum). 
 How do I do that? Turning notifications for forum off in general is not the solution, since some members want to opt in voluntarily. 
 Thank you in advance!

Hello Irene van der Zanden - It would be possible to make an automation that could set a new member's notification settings so that forum replies do not generate a notification. The member would then have the ability to to switch their settings to get these emails. One of our development partners has a listing in our Marketplace that offers this functionality and more - Subscription Management Bundle .

Hello Irene van der Zanden - Apologies for the delay, Steven has unfortunately left Verint. Are you asking that the notification behavior be different for these 2 private listed groups, or would the notification settings be the same across all groups within the community? I don't know of a way to to have unique notification settings for different groups, but if the settings are community wide, you would be able to use an Automation to modify member's notification settings.
