Ok that should be working now. You shouldn't receive any more notifications when your posts/comments are cross linked. Please let me know if you see another notification.
For the last 10 hours or so none of your posts have generated crosslink notifications, while I've been sorting out @theoldones' request (in my database you were marked "nocrosslinker"). Now that's fixed up, your posts do generate crosslink notifications (including a user ping notification to you) unless they crosslink a post by a user who has requested not to receive those notifications (in my database, @theoldones is now marked "nocrosslinkee").
I'm going to write up a new reference post for the crosslink bot to clarify the algorithm.
So now the user can talk about me without my knowing unless I stalk him. I mean, I can do that. But this seems like a lot of work we're both doing just so he doesn't have to block the bot. Thanks for clarifying.
Anyone can suppress those notifications, anyway, by appending a slash to the crosslink, or by asking me to suppress them all by marking that user nocrosslinker.
If you'd like me to suppress notifications of his posts crosslinking to yours, let me know.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I foresaw this kind of issue when I announced the bot:
Just let me know.

might be an idea to add that bit to the small text that goes at the bottom of each bot post, rather then only in the help thread
@Dortex's spam is an insane problem and he's exploiting your bot. can you please cut off his pings for me? thank you for responding on this

Quite the opposite. I like your bot and appreciate what it does. Saves me the effort of stalking people. Thanks for making it.

you just spent months abusing his bot to harass me with dishonest, snake-hearted lies and spam.
he now has to rebuild his bot to fix a loophole you've been caught exploiting.
you, can fuck right off to a goddamn lava pit and burn your legs off.

Did you block the bot?
theoldones ago
drink fucking cyanide then jump off a cliff.

You didn't block it. You just bothered some guy to spend who knows how long to solve a problem you could have solved in three clicks.
