Turn off dashboard notifications

I would really appreciate it if WF would include an option to turn OFF dashboard notifications. Currently, WF notifications create a small orange circle with a number inside it indicating the number of notifications.

The reason for this is that the notifications are not equal; I am notified for things such as issues found during a recent scan, as well as updates for plugins, as well as for new blog postings on the WF blog. I might ONLY want notifications for issues from recent scans – not notifications for plugin updates or for new blog postings at WF.

I am all for updating plugins regularly, but I use a separate service through which I monitor and update plugins. In addition, I already have about three separate update warnings in my WordPress admin dashboard apart from the Wordfence notification. And even after I update a plugin, the WF notification remains.

The larger issue here is that with so many updates generated by WF, they lose value. I think people are much more likely to ignore notifications altogether once they find out that the notifications do not signify importance. They should be used sparingly according to our own needs.
