I wouldn’t dream of bulk tagging 500 topics, but curious, would it cause more strain than posting to an Announcements category that everyone Watches?
(Edit: Oops, Moin posted while I was composing.)
My own use case is maybe one post a week to “escalate” via notification emails.
It feels similar to earlier discussion about recategorized topics:
(Edit: which you already know, sorry.)
- Notifications when a topic is recategorized
- Not receiving notifications for announcements
- Does reassigning a category send a new email out to the group watching the new category?
…which was addressed by FIX: Missing notification for watching first post users when topic is recategorized · discourse/discourse@147ea37 · GitHub
I’m just aiming to use a tag rather than having two categories for similar topics. (They belong together, but a few are, after posting, deemed worthy of sending out to our quiet, sometimes email-only users.)
