You can try the new notification system, in order to use it send a pm to
Maggiordomo by placing in the subject
subscribe and in
the body a link to a thread you created (preferably in a place out of the way, Off topic perhaps), this will be used to receive your notifications. You will receive a message confirming you are signed up and some basic information.
When somebody will type
@yourUsername or
@your=Username (if you have spaces in your username, they need to be replaced with
= ) you will get one or more notifications in your thread.
A great innovative idea as usual by @Piggy. But don't you think people will clog the
Off-topic board by creating many threads as you suggested for receiving notifications and what would happen if people are not limiting those threads to the Off-topic boards? Someone can say Off-topic board is already filled with shit, but that's not an excuse for us to create more threads filled only with notifications. I have checked few of the
tested posts and it redirects to the bounty reports which is useless. If we can get a notification for our social media account (how about for Telegram account which can be created for this notification only) would be great rather creating separate threads even in Off-topic board.
Can we use this bot to check the plagiarism post?
Restrictions and customizations (to be implemented):- A minimum amount of merits received is going to be necessary to use it, perhaps 5/10
These simple rules hopefully will be enough to discourage people from using in ways were not intended.
It is great to see that you put restrictions. However, I don't think 5/10 Merits would be enough and those Merits should be "
Earned Merits"
