I can completely understand how someone could be unaware of a DNP even if it is in the subject line. Is it possible that Dr. B could create a DNP page where it lists who has a DNP against who and a link to the official DNP post? That way each person could check it on their own to see if their name is there. And if they disagree with the nature of the DNP, they could bring it up in Admin. Since DNP's are public knowledge anyways, this wouldn't cross any privacy lines.
Or could it be a DNP page where the person could fill in a form showing the name of the person they are invoking the DNP on, the thread in question, and the reason the person wants the DNP? Then it could be added to what I mentioned above. An email could then be sent to the person being DNP'ed letting them know about the request.
Just two ideas. Maybe there's an easier way, but I don't read every post and can easily miss a DNP.
