I didn't realize that you used to support it but it caused issues. Thanks so much for the details! </p> https://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/ability-to-tag-users-in-a-post#post-1511 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 09:14:47 +0000 mrbee 1511@https://suggestions.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we used to support this, but had to turn it off due to a few reasons:</p> <p>* it generated a lot of emails, which put us at risk of getting blocked as spam by the major email providers.<br /> * it was easy to abuse the feature, and send lots of tags to another user who didn't want to get them.<br /> * people kept mis-typing people's usernames and being confused as to why the other person didn't show up (this was a user interface issue, and we could've solved it - but the two issues above were trickier).</p> <p>We might be able to add support for user tags back some day if it was an opt-in feature... for example, if members could follow each other and then only tag people who are following them. That's not in the works now though, alas. </p> https://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/ability-to-tag-users-in-a-post#post-1510 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 08:56:15 +0000 Adira 1510@https://suggestions.hellobee.com/ <p>It would be cool if you could tag users in a post. Much like how the "reply" option works, but you could do it for people who haven't commented on the thread yet.</p> <p>For example, I'd love it if someone could just type "@Adira" in their comments, and I'd get a regular Reply Notification e-mail about it. Sometimes people ask questions and you know of someone else who has experience and you want to call their attention to the thread - being able to "tag" them would be a good way to do this. </p>
