[Feature request] Ability to follow a tag by default

[franga2000]

The ability to set up some tags that are automatically followed by new users (or even force-followed so they can't unfollow) would be a great addition for things like Announcement sections on forums where the admins might want to make sure everyone sees what's posted there.

I'll probably be implementing this myself as I need it for a project, but I'm posting this here to to check if it would be accepted and track it so effort isn't duplicated.

Hey @franga2000 I'm so sorry that no-one has replied to you.

I'm not so sure on the 'force-follow' option, but certainly a 'follow by default' option I think would benefit this extension.

If you're still interested, a PR for this would be welcomed :)

Unfortunately, I got screwed over by the client whose project I needed this for and I don't even have a PHP dev environment set up anymore.

I do agree that force-follow is a bit much, which is why I didn't end up putting it into the plugin at the time and just hacked together a cronjob with an SQL query to do it 😅
