[Suggestion] Name Notifications in-thread

[quote=ShiftyCake][quote=wRAthoFVuLK] I think my way would be a bit easier and more realistic for him to implement since he already has the system in place for messages. Also, people can also troll and send messages...and they can troll with your way too... does that mean they will? No. Most of the people who "troll" or "spam" on this site (very few) are new users who make spam accounts, they wouldn't even know about the feature. [/quote] Your way would be harder, not many people do an @ in when they're posting so if someone doesn't know about this then it's a useless feature; they do use the quote feature most of the time. I never said they couldn't, I just pointed out that trolling needs to be considered. Yes, it will happen. Sadly their are many people in this world who get a thrill by trolling people on sites such as this. yes, they will know about this feature. Like all features, it will be advertised and shown and, though you might find it hard to believe, most trollers are people who ghost then forums.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]OK so everything can be abused, that really isn't a main concern lol. And it won't be a useless feature since most of the regulars of the site will read the news about it and it will spread, as every new feature does...[/quote]

I was simply replying to what you said. I never said it was useless? I simply said with the @ that if someone didn't know about it then it would be useless (for that specific person). Not referring to it being useless in general. I know it will be advertised and people will spread the word about it, but there will always be someone who doesn't know. If quotes were used then they wouldn't have to know about it.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]I mean including quotes in it would be good too, but my main thought of this was like when you first create a thread that you want some people's attention drawn too, such as my other recommendation thread that I wanted Searz to see, I could just drop @Searz at the bottom of my OP and he'd get a message saying that he is wanted in that thread. He wasn't actually in the thread at that time, so quoting would have no use.[/quote]

I can see the use of both the quotes and the @, if this gets implemented we'll just have both. Oh, we should also make it an option so that people who don't want to be notified (the stalkers) can disable this feature.[/quote]
