Just to be clear, you get no notifications at all, or only on your apple watch?
LOL

I felt it was not necessary to see the notification on the Apple watch, I was active on my PC and didn't have any notifications from the bot at the time. I'm pretty sure it's a bot bug, I don't know how but the delay is too slow for me to receive notification emails. If there was a way to speed it up, it would be better than email, but not now
EDIT: If you don't mind, can send me 1 merit to check the message? I'll send it back to you. This is for testing, not for exchanging merit

You, merit beggar

/jk
No, don't say that, I'll be sad LOL

But, damn it, there's no notification here, I wonder how long it will take me to get notified

Here it is, it takes 8 minutes for me to receive merit notification

I strongly advise you to discuss this bot related issues on the original mention bot thread
so to be sure Giammangiato is keeping track of eventual new bug or issues, which could be not adequately tracked if posted here.
