--- Comment #3 from ShoeMaker <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > Certain accounts should to be excluded from generating notifications, such as > Signbot, Hostbot, etc. There are a few different ways we could solve this, > but one would be an on-wiki configurable blacklist. This should be a per-user configurable list. Some people might want to receive notifications when a certain bot uses their name. For example, I would like to know what pages HostBot uses my name on. I also think it would be useful for people to know when sinebot signs for them (unless they've opted out), but the people on who's page sinebot is signing should not be notified of a new message on their talk page every time sinebot signs for someone. I can understand the concern with pages as well for things like SPI and ANI, but am curious how someone knowing they are being investigated could affect the investigation. I mean, either it will be a hint that they need to shape up and apologize and if they really do mean well, they will do that. If it is an SPI investigation for someone that only means to do harm, then seeing they are being investigated won't make them do less harm (although it might make them change IPs causing them to be harder to track). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
