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.

I like the modified message (to come here) about appending the url but maybe leave that bit in there about adding
?
, just a thought. Love all you do for the site SV <3SearchVoat ago
Thanks for the feedback, always useful to have help with phrasing explanations, I really struggle with that!
