I searched but couldn’t find an answer to this specifically… Is there a way to get a notification (email, desktop) for a specific user? I know you can suppress specific users…

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean? You want a notification every time a particular user posts? You’ll need to subscribe to the RSS feed on that user’s profile page then. To subscribe to a user’s RSS feed, you will need a RSS reader .

What about the Discourse Follow ? Looks like there are plans for a “stealth mode” that would solve the administrative need.

Definitely looks interesting, thanks. The yet-to-be-implemented Stealth mode would be a must, I won’t have much use for the plugin without it. I guess I would really prefer a way to have this exclusively for admins, to keep turning my site into this “social” style like @codinghorror mentioned above…

Is there a way for users to discover the RSS feeds? Even just an auto-discovery link would be enough for people to find it with simple instructions: “go to a user profile page (any section) and paste the URL into your RSS reader”, maybe something like this: <link rel="alternate" type="appli…
