MADMAN32395 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So we can do @user and get someone .... but why cant we do groupnames to tag a whole group like @admins @moderators @whatevergroupnamesyouwant ? If I am wanting to tag my whole staff or a portion of staff, I would end up with a bunch of tags of individual people. Idk, thought it would be more efficient than tagging multiple people if all the same group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldnt make a email distro group to include your client base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carwile Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 What about making an email/distro group and then creating a member account with the email address for that distro. Then just tag that member to send to the whole list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Seems like a bandaid fix. Not a big fan of having random accounts floating around, im sure others are the same. Would make more sense to just expand on a system that is already in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexsplosions Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Please, God, no. I do not want my members tagging my entire admin or moderator groups every time they feel the need to cry, rage, object, cause drama, etc. There's enough moderation work already without adding more to it. I'm feeling dread of this with a small community, can you imagine what it would do to a big one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling dread of this with a small community, can you imagine what it would do to a big one? It's really no different than them individually mentioning your entire moderating team by each name. Personally this is something that should happen. While I understand yours and @Kevin Carwile stances, I also say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with making the system more powerful and giving admins the power to restrict which groups can be utilized. This is a 3rd party add-on from XF that I loved/miss(one of the few things useful about that software). For me, this is great because it allows me to better be able to notify my members. We have a lot of important threads that often sometimes get overlook and buried among the other less important stuff. I tag all of them in threads in regards to Maintenance, Rule changes, New features, updates, etc etc so they are able to see them without having to hunt or be responsible. Our community is small enough where I am able to simply tag each users name once and I later go back and simply copy and paste the names into future posts as needed which simulates tagging usergroups but is certainly not attractive when you have 30+ names in a post.

I don't disagree that features should not be enhanced, but I don't want members being able to tag entire groups, so I would only be happy with this function if it can be disabled. It's just not something I want to see members suddenly doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a control that an admin can enable and, more importantly, disable, on a group by group basis, sure, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
