No you don't. Just turn off the spam notifications for threads in the Notifications Config. They're useless because you will check any threads you care about anyway. This is an extremely low volume forum with no need for thread reply notifications because virtually all active threads are on or near the front page.
Now for a thought experiment: suppose you were Satan designing Hell. One common mistake here is to just go with clear-cut inflicting of maximal pain- fire and brimstone, torture and all. That misses out on the opportunity for psychological torture! What you want to do is inflict immense
absolute suffering but make that absolute suffering
relatively low to perceived suffering in Hell, so your victims will normalize the misery and not even think about speaking up about the crimes being inflicted on them, because compared to what they see in others they will feel their problems are minor. Yet they will constantly suffer and wonder why they suffer. If you want to inflict even more pain, beyond just seeding Hell with others who appear to suffer greater suffering (starvation, crime, poverty) than your victims, you should also seed Hell's life in general with greater pains than the baseline suffering- in fact, you want the baseline suffering of Hell to feel minor relative to your victims' own experiences, so they feel tortured by it yet can't put their finger on it. It's devious- by the standards of the mortal plane, they'd writhe in agony and yet they would not even name the feeling agony (because relatively speaking, by Hell standards, it wouldn't appear to be) and so they would never understand why they suffer.
Anyhow, the question I'd like to ask is that, if you're Satan designing Hell, would it be that different from how Warzone designed its spammy Notifications system?
