Lack of interest Exclude specific content from activity summary emails

[Kirby]

In some cases, it might be necessary to exclude certain content (threads, etc.) from activity summary emails that would otherwise match the specified criteria.

It would be nice to have a generic, extendable system in place that would allow privileged users (eg. moderators or admins with appropriate permissions) to exclude certain content from activity summary emails.

This is one really nice thing about the Threadloom newsletter add-on. It allows you to exclude a post/thread from showing up in the email newsletter.

For Activity Summary, it would likely have to be a flag on the thread itself since there is no previewing interface for it like Threadloom. Which means it would live on the front end as a Moderating feature, probably under the thread tools menu - "exclude from Activity Summary". That would be a nice addition.

You don't need the Threadloom newsletter add-on or any other add-on to do that.

AdminCP >> Communication >> Activity Summary >> {Activity Summary section, e.g., Latest Threads} >> Forum Limit

Under forum limit, highlight the forums you want to INCLUDE from the dropdown; if not selected, a forum/node won't be included.

That would exclude the entire node - what if you want to exclude just a particular thread without excluding all other threads in the node, like you can do in Threadloom? Pretty sure that's what the OP was suggesting - more granular control.

I want to bring this up again, as this has the same issue lots on of these types of features have. If you take the time to do this, you'll have to "select" a new forum to include it anytime you add a new forum.

Xenforo needs more flexibility on this system. It needs to give you the ability to select all forums, and s separate ability to exclude certain forums. Otherwise, you are adding nodes and forums every single time you add nodes and forums on your software on tons of different add-ons and tons of different areas of your site.

Very difficult to keep up with and remember to do that every time, for every mod that you need to include or exclude forums.
