This (new, experimental) bot highlights when a submission or comment is permalinked from elsewhere in Voat. I figure if someone is talking about my post then I want to know about it. And it should discourage brigading.
But I can see downsides too - if you want to be sure ths bot doesn't notify the OP, add a query(?) to the end of the permalink url. That won't affect its parsing/resolution by your browser or by Voat, but it will break the bot algorithm and it won't post the notification.
I'll post a test post linking here now to illustrate how it works.
Comments, questions, suggestions, objections welcome.

Someone's talking about this!
'Here's a notification about a new SearchVoat.co bot' was posted in v/testvoatsearch by @SearchVoatAlert and permalinks to this submission.
This comment was posted automatically by the SearchVoat.co Cross-Link Bot. You can suppress this cross-link notification by appending a query(?) to your Voat permalink. More info here.
