The forum uses Discourse, and it supports a feature called groups, which lets you put users in a group and notify them by @'ing them.
And I was thinking, it might be beneficial to put everyone who’s interested in participating in polls in a group, and whenever you want more opinions about something, you can @ this group.
Of course, joining the group is 100% voluntary, as you’ll be notified when someone @ you. Discourse makes sure of warning a user that he’s notifying a group that consists of X people, but the risk is that someone might mess up and @ the group a few times and thus spams everyone in that group.
I’m pretty indifferent simply because when time permits, I try to at least go through all the forum categories once a day and so come across new polls either way. But a noticing showing up in my e-mail might make me more likely to click and browse to it sooner?
seems unnecessary, ppl who have thoughts or think they know things
or think/feel they know what is better for other ppl
will surely find a way to express it eventually
i think what that user says confirms what i basically said, and ofc im an example of the case
tho you always want ‘evidence to contrary’ and i dont think the evidence contray has much matter or weight
