Suggestion Refused Generate alerts

One more feature request. Optionally generate alerts for MOTM on contest start, contest almost done (say 24 hours before end), contest end.

There is currently for the vote and unvote towards the media owner.
What you request would be general alerts sent to everyone, that's not a good idea as it would generate a whole lot of alerts.

It's like if you wanted new posts or new threads alert, that's not done by xF and for a good reason.

Well it's a optional and not like new thread alerts. A contest would generate at most 3 general alerts per month. To me that's fine and very acceptable Maybe boards with millions of users may not opt for it but any alert that reminds all users to use the feature are a good thing. Again I'm simply asking for the option which can be disabled for those that don't want it.

That would be problematic as the time to send the alert would be important and perhaps lead to php timeout.
For us this would not be good as source of complaint.
