one extra notification every now and then? pick up your toys
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” ― A.A. Milne
Wow I can't believe people are so uptight about these. They don't happen very often and you can simply x it off if it doesn't interest you. I find them good. Like last night it boosted the listeners or when the forum is dead and people tag you in a simple hi thread, it generates forum activity.
I really don't see the problem. If it annoys you that much then turn off the notifications- its hardly a difficult or lengthy process to click the 'notification' thing at the top of the page to remove the mention.

It hasn't happened much so I don't think any rule should be inforced about it yet. BUT if it becomes a "thing" then it definitely shouldn't be allowed. At the end of the day it is abusing the feature as it holds no real purpose and it is spam. Users shouldn't be told to turn off notifications just because they are getting spammed.
Life's too short to care. No point banning something so harmless and easy to ignore.

That's what the site is for, as well as forum notices and the announcement threads. If we were interested, we'd look there, we don't need tagged to be reminded yet again.
i don't see anyone doing it except for scottish so not a problem

I don't see a big issue with it right now but if this was done by a lot more people this would soon become a serious annoyance. I suggest you enforce something now before it can become out of hand.
Personally restrict this to Super Mod & ( A )GM. Anyone else doing this shall be infracted. Max 10 mentions per post (or similar).
If a Super mod or above deems this thread global mention worthy i.e. major event happening right now. They can choose to mention online users.
