      Right now edit emails are spammy and hostile;
      For example, if an user changes an artist name and 60 artist credits, and some other user votes "no" on all these edits, one'll receive 60 separate "no votes" emails + any edit notes the voting editor made.

      This is not ideal!

      • One solution would be to run Modbot every 15 mins or so, and clump all those notifications together instead of sending an email straight away
      • "No vote" text in the emails should be improved to be a bit less "negative"/"scary", and offer ways to respond to them, explain why these emails are coming in the first place, perhaps also links to vote/edit documentation.
      • To limit confusion, we should make sure "no vote" votes did indeed get through before alerting the user.

      Preference control of notifications:

      • More granular control over what and how often (batched or not) emails or on-site notifications get sent would be useful.
      • Some actions should always result in mail: "no votes" for example. This to ensure that the most important "action required" situations are not missed.
      • If a user hasn't checked their notifications for a long while, maybe send them a summarized email anyway.
