the spam pings arnt coming from the voat end. they're coming from your bot
what option does a user have to NOT get pinged from certain other users via the searchbot?

Sorry for the inconvenience. I foresaw this kind of issue when I announced the bot:
If you don't want to be pinged by these cross-link notifications tell me. I can suppress the ping on a user-by-user basis.
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
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.
thank you. this seems like a loophole others might exploit in the future against new targets
