Hi @nat – it does seem the plugin could use some fine tuning:
a.) I’ve tried turning off email for staff_alias, and it becomes a bit of a black hole. Emails & notifications to the “parent” account are not triggered. So I’ll re-enable email & ignore the skipped email notices for now.
b.) Disabling personal messaging to staff_alias doesn’t keep privileged accounts like admins and mods from messaging it – and those Messages are only seen if dug for. Maybe those could also be routed to the relevant “parent” account?
These things aren’t a huge concern for me yet, but I can imagine issues for sites with more staff and heavier activity. I’ll watch for any news… thanks!
