Secondary Mailing List - that doesn't automatically subscribe to general newsletters

[cbear]

Hi there!

So I have a page that offers a secondary sign up / newsletter list. This is NOT the same as the general email sign-up that everyone else would subscribe to. (ie - we have general newsletter subscribers and I'm setting up a page where you can sign up for submission calls.)

I'm encountering 2 issues - 

1. someone already subscribed to the general newsletter list can't subscribe to be on the submission call list as well. Is there a way around this without manually tagging customers?

2. I've managed to sort out the tag line for the subscription list, but they're automatically pulling to the Email Marketing / "subscribed" section of my customer list. Where can I find the verbiage to change that? I tried altering the snippet in the newsletter form "accepts marketing" from "true" to "false", but that didn't do anything

Any help in ... helping me clean this up would be very much appreciated!

TIA!
