It's odd I had the orange hub wheel, but when I clicked it I didn't have any notification. Mind mentioning me again?

I just found out something interesting War! If you dismiss one notification it dismisses the other duplicates War!

Wait, so if you tagged me like 100 times in a post I would have a hundred notifications, and if I had email notification on would it send me 100 individual emails?

If all goes well couldn't the card mention work the same way as those mentions?

Oh I should've mentioned this months ago, or maybe I put it insom's super special spreadsheet I can't remember.

I think it is on the spreadsheet. It's on the list (again)... It's just one of those super low priority things that kept being put off.

I think mk is actually on it now.

This is a great catch. mk have you seen this?

Don't worry, I've shouted him out and on my #bugski post. I know there's more suitable admins that I could shoutout but I do not know who they would be. Maybe insomniasexx would know.

Well, that was interesting, but I've never (nor do I foresee) that being abused.

Oh it will be.

The problem here is that you can force Hubski into sending too many emails, this may exhaust any mail allocation that the server has but more likely will get Hubski blacklisted as spam -- blocking new users from signing up as they can't verify their accounts etc and incurring financial expenses to mk as he'll have a rough time getting un-blacklisted.
