Difficult to determine which is best. I agree that the notification alerts are spammy, although if you were following along with a topic via email, then with this change, you'd only get one email, and you'd be forced to visit the forum to "clear" the block...
Sure. Isnt is forum about user interaction? More visits for the website and more activity.
recieving email for mention is nice but for every new post its just disturbing , and of course not only email, this extended to pushbullet or telegram etc
Following popular topics become impossible -
This would be a very big one for us. Our notification system is overwhelming in the number of status notifications and emails that it sends out. We've had user complaints that the system sends them crazy and that they need to be shut off... then they get nothing.

Just make it a behavioural option with a system default and the ability for individual users to override if they want.

Following popular topics become impossibleWe all have to stop following the big ones on ML. The notification system has been mostly ignored as the volume has always been too high. The little "bell" icon for me is always 20+. Even if I clear it, the next screen refresh it is often right back up again.

we had it to disable with a core modication cause it was killing user experience
but i´m sure dev can find a solution to be enabled or disabled with some user/admin toogle -
