Fair enough it can get annoying but jesus christ it's a bloody mention, not the end of the world. From some of the -rep replies I recieved it was like I fed you lot a bunch sharp nails with a rusty spoon. I don't care if someone mass tags me, I ignore the thread and leave it, it isn't like it happens every day anyhow.
lol I don't really see how it's annoying? It's one mention, you don't HAVE to look at it. FOMO
If it was a constant stream of spammed notifications I would understand your point but right now it's actually only happened about five times in the last few months so stop being so uptight.
@samsaBEAR;
i turned the PMs off, so i only know if i get a mention by the looking at the top of the page (or on profile). it's so easy to do, and therefore simple to avoid things popping up. it's not like it's an extremely frequent occurrence anyway tbf...
It only happens every couple of weeks or so and it takes two seconds to look at and cross off anyway. Not a big deal tbh.
In the short-term, you can change your username to something bizarre with characters that are non-mentionable :O
I did bring this up last night but felt nobody agreed :( - Sorry!
Can we not have the option to turn off the tagging feature? That way those of us who don't like being tagged in the posts can turn it off.
There's already an option to disable notification PMs.
Yeah as everyone has said, as it only takes a short amount of time to click notifications, check the thread (to get rid of it) and go back to index that it'd be overzealous to have a new rule for it.
It was only a matter of time this was going to be brought up. This is my view on it: WHY U MAD? Seriously though, it's not the end of the world. It's not like you are being forced to read a thread every day like on some forums where they force people to read a thread before viewing the rest of the forum. Sometimes those are set so there is like 5 before you can even see other threads.
Although it isn't the same feature but being tagged into a thread is nothing. The plugin it self can be limited so only so many people can be mentioned in one post at a time. Although that doesn't stop them from doing it in multiple posts - I don't see the issue of it because it's not something that happens all the time. It actually reminded me to tune in last night so there is a positive side to it.
Anyone who will or has mentioned rules for it: no. We get told we are strict, we are harsh and then you get suggestions like this.
Limiting it will not work surely? If you want 5 in a post or something im sure radio are gonna be happy if they need to mention all the staff and they need to do about 8 posts before theyve done? It's a small notification and if youre fussed win VIP and go on invisible maybe? I just click the mention notification, you can see loads mentioned before you click it ao no need to get annoyed.
