What to do about someone who's almost untouchable on ELO board?

I wish the forums had a better notification system.

You get notified when you get quoted, otherwise you can subscribe to threads you're interested in (if you want to know about every post). It's more of an opt-in to notifications, unless you're addressed directly (as per quote).

That's the key - on BGG, you are automatically subscribed to a thread in which you post.

Here, you need to click "subscribe to this post".

Are you guys somehow notified outside the "forum" pages? Because, this is my post, so I should get notified anytime anyone responds to it. So I've responded to it, but I'm rarely in the forums, so I don't ever see the notification in this part of the website. That's what I meant by not getting notifications. I checked it early on for early responses, but then kinda forgot about it until I clicked in here again and then realized it had kind of exploded.

Anyways, just a good reminder to check in every once in a while if I post.

No.

On BGA forums, we do not get automatically subscribed to forum replies. Not even for forum threads that we create ourselves by making the first post.

No. Notifications are not displayed outside the forums, whether they be for replies to a topic you're subscribed to or a post quoting you. And even though it seems like it should, authoring a new topic does not subscribe you to all replies to that topic. At least it has been my experience that I only get notifications when being quoted unless I specifically subscribe to a topic.

I should clarify that by "outside the forums," I mean on the main BGA site. You can subscribe to email notifications when you're quoted.
