What about an On-Screen notification when one receives a No vote on a contribution? (Locked)

Right now we get a notification near the top when another user sends us a PM, I was thinking that it maybe a good idea to add a similar notification if someone votes No to a contribution.

Some of us are either too busy or whatever to check if we have received a No vote on one of our contributions.
This way a person can't say that they weren't notified at all since it would be on every page until one looks at their contributions.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I can have a lot of contributions up at any given time. Sometimes it is hard to see the no votes in time. So I think this would be a good idea. Maybe have the yellow banner for PMs and a red banner for no votes.

I am against the proposal. For almost everybody votes No to my contributions, these continual notifications would annoy me.

And yet no epiphany?

I'm not against the idea, but I don't really see the need.  People who care how their contributions are faring already have easy access to such information.

I definitely care about my contributions. But it isn't always easy to see the no votes in time. As there can be a huge list of contributions at any given time. When scanning over the list it is easy (at least for me) to overlook a no vote. I have done so more then once in the past. So something like this would be a good help.

If not this... even on the page with the list of contributions a notation above the list to mention you have no votes.

I like the idea, but maybe user configurable?

How about a simple (optional) email notification for no-votes?

Yes, please!

Currently I don't have much spare time, so I don't contribute much and it's easy to spot No-votes. But at times when I have a few dozens contributions up for voting, it gets really hard to spot eventual No-votes. Then I really would appreciate a daily E-Mail summary or an overview page with direct links to my contributions that got a "No" vote.

While either way would be good to me... I would prefer something on the site instead of an email. And of course I would have no problem with it being configurable.
