Change the list watchlist feature to a follow list model.
Allow users to follow lists and get updates on changes of that list via private messages (same as the IMDb toplist updates) or in the activity stream.
The watchlist for lists will be replaced with 'Lists you follow' and you'll receive updates via private messages or in your activity stream when a list has been updated if you choose to in your settings.
For the people that don't like this idea: You'll still be able to use the 'Lists you follow' page as a watchlist. The name is just different and you'll receive an update if one of the lists changes (which you can turn off in your settings).
For example: You choose to follow Fritz's Pixar feature films list. Fritz adds the latest Pixar creation or changes the ranking of a movie. iCheckMovies will send you a message containing those updates, so you'll know exactly what happened to the list every time it has been updated.

I like this idea, but I think it would be even better if there was an option to receive a notification when someone posts a comment on one of the lists.

I like it too. Although I think a similar system for comments on movie pages and list pages would be 10 times as useful and longed-for.

I like the idea. And the example. ;)

I like it. I've always been rather put off by the separate movie and list watch lists.

Also miss the option in uservoice to edit my comment, so I could get rid of all the mistakes in grammar and edit it to clarify. Apparantly I was in to much of a hurry. Sorry for the badly written comment, I hope you understand it regardless

I wouldn't like this change. Let me explain:
Right now I use the list-watchlist for movie-list of which I receive a platinum award. When a movie appears in such a list that I haven't seen, I want to make that list platinum again, but not right away (most of the time, because I have 50+ movies in my movie-watchlist) or because that movie has just been released and I'm sure the movie will drop out of the list eventually.
So every now and then I come back to my watchlist and add the movies that I haven't seen to my movie-watchlist to make those 'used to be platinum'-lists platinum again.Proposal:
Keep the lists-watchlist 'as is'. Give the user the option (in his options/settings) to receive a mail/private message/activity stream update when any of the lists in his lists-watchlist change. Maybe even give him/her control over 'what changes' they want to be mailed about ((dis)appearing movies/rankings change).by the way: At this time the functionality of the 'IMDb top list updates' only shows appearances and disappearances. Not changes in ranking as you stated in your example
Best Regards,

PS. It's nice that there is a 'Vote' and 'Like' button on this page, but I see no way to cast a negative vote/dislike, so you will never know how many people don't like this option, only how many like it.

Great idea! I always thought it was silly that there were 2 watchlists - one for movies and 1 for lists.
Could we get a similar system for replies though. Right now there is no way of knowing if someone replied to your list or your own reply.
