Specifying Forums for Notification and Counts

In my classes, I have multiple forums;
- Graded discussion questions
- Questions about class or assignments
- Group discussions (student groups)
Each forum should have the options (forum level)
- Notify me when students post - useful for Questions
- Use in count on home page - good to exclude student group discussions, which really do not need to be addressed.
I posted this to the feature request, and it may have gotten noticed. I am not sure since Brightspace customer relations (outside of sales) do not seem to exist. This is low-hanging fruit, and I've found plenty of faculty who would be very happy if we had some simple features like this (I have others). My email is ronald.eaglin@daytonastate.edu. I am a software developer. I even worked on WebCT (the precursor of today's LMS's). I'm curious who reads this, pop me an email if you agree (or disagree) with this feature.
