If you want to be notified of merits and mentions, this will be very helpful. You can also use it to track a thread, but the notifications may be disturbing if you track a thread with it because as people are posting on the thread, you will be getting the notification of each single post.
[TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+)
https://t.me/BTTSuperNotifier_bot
I think I will recommend the superbot notifier on telegram although there are some glitches for different users on the case of merit tracking but it can be rectify by manually adjusting the merit to the accurate number. This telegram bot helps alot Incase you feel like tracking any user or board for effective contribution in your discussion on new topics here in the forum. As I started using this, my activeness in discussion has gotten to another level and it will indeed help newbies that wants to really stay on track with their discussions or thread created.
The Ninja notification bot has a lot of glitches. I've been using this not for almost two years now and I barely get post notifications, the only notification I get is merit notification, and sometimes it gives double merit count. I haven't tested the LoyceV notification bot yet, but I might give it a try.
