MarkoH01: I am a big fan of the solo dev Fabrice Breton aka Cowcat and I just wanted to show people on discord that he is pretty active in the forum as well. I was shocked to see his posts being marked and grouped as possible spam by BE .....

On game-specific forums you could use this grouping as to see either all devs threads or its active users' one-post solutions/infos.

I still do consider creating multiple one-post threads as a spamming, instead of utilizing centralized threads (like announcements/updates/etc). And of course, I can rename it to a better description if provided, as long as it includes bot spams as well.

It is fine. I was just a bit shocked when I saw my favorite dev posts being marked as spam ... but since mrkgnao explained when it does mark sth. as spam I can understand it. It also says "possible" and not "actual".

Blackdrazon: Here's a feature request, if you could: we can hide the Alerts icon, but the number still adds itself to the tab's Title bar. For example, right now I'm seeing the title: "[1] Barefoot Essentials 2 - GOG.com enhancement, page 95 - Forum". It'd be nice to turn that [1] off, too.

DawEdhel: I think, the better approach in this case would be to auto remove any notifications silently in the background, as you are still going to accumulate these alerts over time needlessly.

I also wonder, if either alerts have any expiration timer intervals or they have to be removed only manually.
That's good thinking, I like it! I'm pretty sure wishlist alerts disappear after the sale they're attached to is over, but I don't know about the rest.

Then it should be easy enough to implement.

But there is a small caveat: I believe, removing such alerts also effect unmarking forum replies, chat messages, etc.
Do such side effects satisfy you?

No, I suppose that is too far for me. It might work for someone else but I do use the forum replies when they come up. If you want to implement a blanket removal for anyone else who might want it, though, that's perfectly fine.
