Tagging people in poasts * 4
    #26500519 - 02/23/20 08:40 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Would there be a way to tag other members by name so they get a little notification into their message box or something?


I dunno, just an idea for a feature.

It's been brought up quite a few times and shot down for a variety of reasons.

I personally like the idea. Seems like it has potential to be very useful.

I can also see how it could potentially be "abused", or used to bait/troll though.


@cron

Maybe if they ever do add it it should be something users could opt out of

As long as it's done on a whitelisting basis not a blacklisting basis it should be fine. Whitelisting basis means everyone is blacklisted from tagging you. You could then selectively whitelist accounts who you want to be able to tag you.

A system like that would basically prevent all "abuse" because in theory you would only be whitelisting people you are comfortable with tagging you.

That's like saying if you need me drive to my house instead of calling me on the phone.

Time's they are a changin' cron'. Lol.

So a noob comes here, unfamiliar with the etiquette/features of the forum... They're obviously 99% of the time not gonna know to PM you. So they make a post on the forum, people are trying to answer his question but no one can really do it justice, but someone knows that you've dealt with this scenario before and you have first-hand real world experience on what the OP is asking, hell let's say you're basically an expert at it, better than anyone else on the boards. So the person that knows you are the best person suited to answer the question has to go back up copy the link to the post, start a message, type your name in, give a description and paste the link, you have to go in, see you have a message, open it, read it, click on link, then go to the thread, get context and see if you can answer the question...

So why not cut most of that out and just have someone be able to make a post saying "Hey OP welcome to the forums, I wish I could answer your question but my knowledge on the subject is subpar, but I remember seeing a while back @cronicr dealt with the same situation and got it all figured out, maybe he can help you."

You get a little notification next to your PMs up top and open it, click on it, get some context and see if you can answer it or not, make your reply(or not) and go on with your day.

well you don't need to drive to my house or phone me to tell you that your cake needs misting, as a tc and mod slash postwhore I start my day with enough notifications as is, i can see it being useful in most forums and busy threads where you may not want to flip through the 15 pages that went up while you slept.
give the feature to supporters but give users the option to not have it and I'll give you my vote but until then let me be grumpy:lol:

I think it's an absolutely terrible idea especially for this forum. Terrible in cultivation and then then there is the OTD and pub crew that will abuse it

It would almost surely be abused to the point that it would be defunct inside of a week of being enacted.

In a perfect world it seems like a good idea to me, we're just not in a perfect world.

U mean like hashtags? I feel like a PM message would be a bit much. It would need to go to a seperate "Notification" list.
