Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in.

I could always ban you?

Or you could go into your control panel.
http://forums.winamp.com/usercp.php

Then 'edit options'

And uncheck
'Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in.'

THat has nothing to do with thread subscription, and in your case it's still on.

My Control Panel -> Edit Options -> Disable "Use 'Email Notification' by default"

It's worth noting though, that this isn't 'spam' - it's an option that you selected yourself when you either signed up for the forums, or went into your user control panel afterwards.

Is it just me or does the word "compile" sound like a messy gangbang?

I believe I've turned that option off, but I'm still getting e-mails when the thread is something I suscribed to months ago before I changed my options. Could a mod make sure it's not my fault?

Unsubscribe from those threads. It turned off the notification on any new threads you post in but not old.
