I completely agree on all of the above, the constant t!mail notifications instead of the private messages for voting really messed up my groove... I don't like the new "lets give you 2 mail activity for each time you vote on our 2 sites, then we'll give you more regular mail so you'll have to look at each message then delete them"...I'd rather just get direct messaged because that's easier to deal with than putting in bot commands just to get rid of new and old mail on this bot.. but oh well I doubt it'll be changed.
The only thing I do like that's changed in this very recent update is how much 't!fish' on our daily quests has decreased because it helps a lot without sitting there trying to catch 15 fish all for one of the quests. And I've noticed a few other changes with the daily tasks, which I've also liked, so I'm not saying it's all bad or complaining, just my feedback.
