Would it be possible to make a post that a user makes in a followed thread not flag the 'one of the threads you are following...' message? It's really annoying.

I think I asked about this a while back and they claimed that it'll go away as soon as you leave the thread you posted in, but due to how the system was implemented, they couldn't prevent it from throwing up a flag in the first place.

I believe this is the issue you were talking about. I don't see the admin response I thought I remembered, though.

It's part of how the system is implemented. Adding a username check would probably take a bit more processing time than would be really useful. Besides, this way you know if someone hijacked your account and is secretly posting as you in some thread you are following.

The notification system fires off very early in the process, before the post you are following is loaded on a page. That part won't be changing. The only possible way to suppresss that notification would be to look at the URL and assume that it loaded. That's bad for people with less reliable connections, people hitting the back button, etc. Other ways of doing it run into the problem of more overhead on every single page load which is definitely undesirable.
