Topic: Why do you browse the forum without notification? - page 3. (Read 603 times)

Before I discovered the notification bot thread, I was still replying to my quoted replies. How I did it back then was to enable notification for each of the threads that I last visited. Every new comment that dropped there, I always got notifications about it, and when I went back to the threads, I checked to see if I was mentioned or not. Sometimes I also found some interesting new comments that dropped under the thread, which I might pick up on by either asking questions or throwing more light on the discussion. Another thing I usually do is search my name in the search section every 24 hours to check if I was mentioned by any member or something came up with my name.
 
To be honest, this notification bot is really helpful and has reduced the stress of searching and doing all that other manual checking stuff. I believe there are a lot of people who are still aware of the notification bot, and a few who are aware don't like making use of Telegram and, as such, won't want to create one because of that.

 
We are all entitled to our own different opinions, and I don't think going against someone based on your own understanding is enough reason for them not to give you some merit if you deserve it. There are actually polite ways of telling someone they are wrong without attaching some insult to it, and when such is done, no harm can come with it.

How do people that doesn't use quotes or mentions notification bots browse this forum? I mean, it is wrong and does not promote healthy discussion. I am a user who is always not excited by whatever is in the opening topic (OP). I rather go through the flowing conversation to see who holds opposite opinion with me, then I will go in for some kind of debate in order to come out of the conversation more informed. Although this has its backlash, some merits sources will not hand out merits to you if you challenge their opinions, that is why some users prefer to lick the ass of others maybe to be in their good book for merits._{Pardon me for a slight off topic}

It's sometimes hurting when you quote or mention someone with the mind to further engage in conversation with the person, but the fellow might never return again to the thread. Could it be these set of users that Royse777 and Hhampuz complain that they use the forum in a wrong way or they post for weekly pay.

If you use notification bots, it will not be difficult to complete and exceed your weekly post quota. There will also not be a slight room for AI usage. If you engage in meaningful conversation in upto three threads, it is possible you can make even more than 10 posts a day and also will be learning new things.
People who doesn't use any of these notification bots should try and activate one to promote quality and meaningful discussion in the forum.

Recommendations

• [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+)

I know of others but I'm not sure they are still maintained till date. If you have recommendations for this service, you can drop and I will gladly add to Op.
