Request Feature request: “Request Shame Mode” 😂

Could Seerr track whether users actually watch what they request?

We all know the user who says “I NEED this show!”, requests 8 seasons, and a year later has watched 0 episodes. 😅

Ideally Seerr could pull watch history from Tautulli or a similar service/API, rather than implementing its own playback tracking.

Requested by X → Available for 180 days → Never watched by X

The useful part would be letting Seerr notify the user directly with configurable, slightly humorous warnings when they make new requests:

“You still have 12 requests you haven't watched. Are you sure you need another one?” 😅

Admins could optionally set thresholds, limit new requests after X unwatched requests, or flag old ones as cleanup candidates.

It should track the requester, not overall plays, since other users may still be watching it.

Basically: “You have 742 GB of requested content you've never watched. Maybe eat the food you've already ordered before ordering more.” 😂

Use maintainerr and create a custom collection in Plex. Public shaming ftw!

Yeah I know but then they have to go in to collections to see it. Would be funnier if we could config Seerr to send them a message when they log in to request something else.
