Interesting idea - hold my beer - I will gather some data from the forums we are hosting.
Settings on category_user level below. I just counted all the settings from all the forums so certain large forums might skew have a large impact on the numbers.
I would say, let’s get rid of tracking and rename “watching first post” to “watching new topics” (and “watching” to “watching new posts”)
| percentage | level |
|---|---|
| 20.2% | regular |
| 11.7% | tracking |
| 33.8% | watching |
| 34.2% | watching first post |
