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?

That is the test thread which is not corresponding to the actual state of the notification system, those messages are almost a month old and for testing, beside you need to be registered with the bot to receive any notification, as mentioned in my message above, any other @mention found will be discarded.

Again, using the thread is not ideal and would generate some more traffic but at least would be for some purpose and giving a useful service, this is what i can work with since the limitation put in place to send PM, i have another couple of ideas to limit the impact but the choices are limited.

Eventually it could, but at this stage is just about notification
