I think the practice of misuse of tbe notify button needs to be looked at and if as result of petty disputes or trying t get another poster banned for malicious purposes should be treated in same way as other matters such as abuse. I am sure dunk will read these threads and I implore him to look at this situation. My suggestion is to raise the bar on what shoud be notifed and the frequency. In the ten years plus I have been on this site I have only notifed three times if someone is doing it 6 times a week then something is clearly wrong.
