Suggestion on alert setting option - globally and at the user level: Create an option to Suppress Emails to Once Daily if there are more new replies to a watched thread.
The thinking is this... if an email alert is sent for every single reply it can get way too overwhelming in your inbox for a busy thread. But if you only get one alert for new replies and then no more alerts after that until you view the thread, you can easily forget or not know that the thread is really active. There should be an option that fits in between these two options. Maybe it can be a daily email notification for a thread if there are consistent new unread replies being posted every day. Or maybe it's a reminder email about threads that still have new replies that are unread. Something to prompt the user to go read the unread replies daily or weekly (or a specified interval), but not a persistent email alert.
I can't wait for the day that we can just have push notifications for all phones instead of relying on email alerts. For those admins whose communities are full of iOS users, that is one of the most glaring missing pieces to the puzzle for forums.
