Aramaech Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 The ability to use the @ tag for groups, such as @administrator etc.
David.. Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 No, that would be spam heaven. This may help though
Makoto Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Groups, in general, would be chaos. A @staff only mention alias might be useful, though.
Simon Woods Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 It could be a good feature for a premium member group. You'd obviously need permission settings for it.

Management Charles Posted March 14, 2017 Management Posted March 14, 2017 We actually started implementing this a while ago but quickly realized it would be something that sounds good on paper but would drive you crazy in use
Aramaech Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 Imo it would depend greatly on the type of forum. A site where people attempt to network with other people of various skill sets would benefit greatly from the ability to group people by skills and allow them to tag by group. The idea of people just spamming group tags could easily be dealt with via proper permissions settings and notification settings. It's easy to see how it could look like a recipe for annoyance at first glance, but that's really only a first impression the fades pretty quickly the more you think about it when set up properly. And as a setting that could be disabled in the admin cp, it would offer zero harm and actual potential benefit. That's just my thinking on it tho. e.g. do you think Discord suffers from making this option available?
ADKGamers Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I know this topic is a few months old, but I think with appropriate permissions that this would be fine. Yes, it can definitely be abused but this is something we are looking for as well. Makes it easy to tag leadership groups without having to have numerous mentions in a topic. +1 for it to be implemented
MikeChristopher Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 its something I use on another through I admin on which uses discourse and must admit its a great feature with the right permissions behind it!
