What happens if the setting is not ticked?

If the setting for the automatic alerts is not ticked in your personal preferences, you will not receive anymore the alerts about changes changes that other users did, or even what you did - if the content has to be refreshed by the system (that is the case, for example, when moving an article that contains section-level color tags from one page section to another).
