Didn't they put the mention system in like 2 months ago? Do you like it? When and if someone usually mentions you, do you want to be mentioned by that person?

It was more than two months ago. I have no issue with it. Most the time I get mentioned unexpectedly.

It's nice I guess. They need to disable it in quoteblocks though. I don't need to be notified that someone replied to someone who called me.

It was *far* more than 2 months ago and the system has a lot of problems even before you get into people abusing it.

Long list of problems:

1) Like MvDK said, every time somebody quotes a mention, you get another notification even if you aren't necessarily involved in that conversation any more.

2) There's no way to specifically disable the function if you don't want to use it or settings to have it be friends-only, etc, which would make it less abusable. Even better would be an option to disable it from certain people because, other than the troll alts who abuse it, you have other people who over-use it for purposeful aggravation.

3) Not sure if its fixed, but you used to get empty-tags when somebody on your ignore list mentions you. (ie, similar to getting a notification when an ignored person posts in one of your topics or tagged topics.)

4) The reporting system for it is just lousy. It means that mods are unlikely to act except in issues of extremely blatant abuse, like repeated posts that only have a mention in them or mention-deletes (because even after a post is deleted, it still shows up in your mentions). If somebody mention-deletes, you have to use a cumbersome work-around where you report the first message in the topic then list the problem in the other field; granted, part of this was due to the stupid decision to change how deleted messages work.

Watch it, you're already on thin ice for putting Bulbasaur in that match against Charmander when you KNOW you should have just declared Bulbasaur the winner.

Makes no difference, the system will take an underscore. Erik P has a space in his and he can be tagged.

I'm pretty sure he has an underscore in it.

Oh, you're right about Erik's account. However, Duckbear's Full Throttle account doesn't, though, and it shows an underscore for the purposes of the system.

It *does* have an actual space, but that becomes an underscore in certain systems. Seriously, look at his name in the topic list and you'll see the space but the underscore shows up in profile.

I deliberately avoid using it, actively delete any notifications about mentions without reading them, and don't respond when people mention me.

So as far as I'm concerned, this site doesn't actually HAVE a mention system.

It's true. The one and only mention he responded to was mine, back when I was first messing around with the system.

I've somewhat gone the same way since I'm less likely to bother responding quickly to a topic where I've been tagged and, in general, if I'm halfway interested in a topic I usually track it anyway; granted, because I wind up tracking quite a few, I don't always wind up getting back to them. The few times when I actually check out a mention is if it's a topic I haven't seen that looks of interest.
