POLL - The Alerts System, Please VOTE

[BQretired]

Well, it seems that some members are occasionally receiving false Alerts, https://titsintops.com/phpBB2/index.php?threads/deleted-message-i-didnt-post.110534 . So, I want to get input from members (reply below, if you are having similar problems).

Now, any time someone Likes your post, or you are Watching a topic/sub-forum, you do get an Alert that member X liked your post in NameOfThread. Or, X started topic XXXX in a watched thread.

However, you will also get an Alert for any staff action taken against your post/thread (we do this as a courtesy to let the o/p know*).

I don't think we would want the Alert system disabled (not sure if it can be done anyway). But, you can elect not to receive Alerts. However, if the majority vote NO, then it will apply to everyone (we can not send to certain members, while ensuring others don't get it).

*I will be honest here. Not having to notify the member of the action, will save us a little time. But, when added all together, it could save us substantial time. However, I think, that some actions (such as Rule violations) will have to continue.

Alerts will continue to be sent until the Poll is closed, and the Results are in.

Alerts are the best thing about the forum upgrade.

I fully agree. with DefYogurt here. It keeps keeps us up to date. And I think it does apply to us, because we initiated something.
(And I don't think clicking a couple times is wasting time to get rid of it. Its way more helpful than it is annoying IMO)

I'm ''proud'' to be the first Yes voter out of 4 in total.

I think you posted this a bit later, then. Because, when I checked the topic early yesterday morning, there were 7 for Yes. And, 5 for no.

Now, it's 13 Yes; 7 No.

Actually I voted before this post

They're useful albeit a bit irregular.

... albeit a bit irregular.

Not if you are a member of a forum that uses Xenforo s/w.

I definitely didn't use the right word. I really meant to say sometimes they don't work.
