This is quite the more odd suggestion, but once you read my idea you may think more of it;

For many people, they rely on the market, especially people who are requesting for items to post and to respond in order to cop the commission. A lot of the time, like me, have post notifications going through their email in order to get on these potential clients fast. But, at the same time time you’re constantly being fed with unneeded clutter such as requesting graphics, intros, and stuff that I don’t specialize in.

My proposal is that to setup a notification system that only sends the thread when specific keywords are shown on the title or in the actual thread. In addition, you should be able to choose whether you want to have requesting or offering threads, since my suggestion is mostly targeted toward freelancers. This would benefit the consumer and the freelancer since it allows the freelancer to respond in a shorter amount of time which is better for both parties.

You can choose the binary option or agree and disagree or actually explain whether or not this idea could benefit the market in the comments. I’m not counting in any development costs, since overall it’ll be at the cost of something to add any feature into the site.

Sorry if some things don’t make sense, I have a hard time explaining things. Thanks.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Is this what you mean? https://xfrocks.com/resources/bd-keyword-alert.14/ -- I know it should be via XenForo notifs, this one does email I think. (How ironic)

But, I mean honestly, if this requires custom development for XenForo it's not worth the development. Good idea, though.

Interesting. I'll move this to pending for us to look into implementing this. I don't really want us to be sending out 100,000 emails a day because someone requests to be emailed every time someone uses the letter "a", but if there is a way to limit requests it'll probably be implemented.

Thanks, pendingified

(was that enough effort of a response for you, Calvin?)

Keyword alerts like this are a pretty niche demand, and I can only really see them being super beneficial for service teams to spam their service offering to potential clients (which isn't something I want to encourage with a system like this). If someone wants to develop something similar with our soon-to-be-released Ultimate API then I believe it'd be feasible, but I don't want to get it developed ourselves.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
