Our moderators have been complaining that extra notifications get sent out for very minor edits, merges and moves to posts. This is exacerbated by the way we started out using our forum which was to turn on email sending of all notifications for all of our 50+ staff using our forum. This means that, for example, when a post is moved to another topic an email is sent out to 50+ people because it is a new reply to that topic. We know they will start getting too much email and are starting to encourage them to change their notification preferences, but in the meantime this is a real issue for us. The feature I am looking for is some sort of “this is a minor change” tickbox like dokuwiki has or a “do not send notifications” tickbox that is only available when doing post moves or merges.
