Reverting largely the changes from the last year - forum post alerts are available to subscribers only and a maximum of 3 alerts each per user. *edit : each day
The hope that the forums could self-moderate if alerts were open to all has proven unachievable as the alert system is abused to act out petty squabbles creating way more moderation work, not less.

These changes occurred in response to complaints by one of the primary troublemakers on the forums: @divegeester.
These changes were requested internally for forum moderation previously, and were implemented as a result of the tidal wave of alerts occurring over the weekend.
Preventing multiple alerts per user was a bug fix.
