Can we try and stop posts that mention every username online at that moment?

I don't know how you'd do it, but it's pretty annoying, tagging me in a post ain't gonna make we wanna listen to the user's ****** radio show. Maybe the limit of mentions per post should be lowered to like five?

I kind of agree really, and it kind of defeats the purpose of what the whole mention system is for. Its for mentioning someone in a post, not for being used as a form of advertising and I agree it can get a bit annoying.

This was being discussed in the mod forums last night actually, and I know Matt did say there is an option to limit the amount of people you can mention in a post, and I think this would combat this well really. I see no reason for someone needing to mention the whole forum except for advertising, which isnt really needed.

I will speak to Matt about it

I actually think it's a good method.
Just shows that the member was using their initiative,
The market was there, so he took it.

I actually kind of like it too, it got the word out about habboxstarz didnt it.

I think its not a good method as it gives people unwanted spam of notifications. If you want to advertise something then make a thread and pass the word on to your friends about it.

I'm pretty sure you can turn the notifications off though if you don't want them can't you?

And it's not like they spam it, it's usually 2 a week, maximum...

I guess I can see that side to it too, how some people may find it useful for spreading the word about stuff, however I guess it does get a bit annoying to some people since it brings the notification up etc.


I guess I'll wait and see what some more people think before deciding whether to change anything.

wow it happened like 3 or 4 times not a big ******* deal all it does it shows up in your mention, you check the post, notice it's spam and cross off the thread.........

[Jurv]

why do people get annoyed over something so small? it'll be gone within a few seconds of you viewing the thread.

I've never seen an issue with it myself. No point putting a restriction on it because as Jen said, once you click the notification it goes away anyway.
