Forums Tagging Possible?

[CYBER]

Hey, This is basically a general question before I ask ZERO about it .

""IF"" it was an available plugin for the forums, wouldn't be better if we had the ability to tag people in posts ?
I could be in a random section on the forums and I want to "mention" someone and give them a chance to see this (like facebook).
For example, i want to bring @ZERO 's attention to this thread by inserting a special tag like this?

Very helpful specially when it comes to Bans or rulings because I recall we used to have trouble bringing forward respective "prosecutor admins" and 'defendant players" and we had to either send them private msgs or steam there. This way respectively tagged people get sent a notification to get their ass on the forums :P

It's not just for rulings, even in discussions, I personally think that there would be "life" in the forums by bringing people back and forth to read stuff. Settings can be modified to ignore certain people for more control..
Not to mention this is a very efficient way to "call upon " a moderator in a thread to check up on it , instead of talking to them aside and having to send them the link to the thread and then the post .

Opinions?

i think thats a really good idea

we have upper lvl admins now, and the perma ban requests are handled by them quite fast, as well as unbans. I handle the admin abuse threads and manually track people down always for questioning and 2 get their side of the story... so this is really pointless. any 1 who is a regular on the forums checks threads when they show they have new content... and if you aren't a forum regular.. well calling the attention of someone who isn't ever on the forums is obviously pointless.

I prefer talking 1 on 1 with people... it gets things resolved quicker.

welcome back btw.

hahaha yeah well i am a bit fuzzy about the new handling system lol, i keep on wondering where do i fall in all of this lol... but yeah, i heard it's being handled well for the ruling shit, but that still doesn't discard the bonus of tagging people in posts. For example i feel like calling out @aco for his faggyness, but it's not fun when he cant read it xD hehehe

and maynard, glad im back, i just randomly made the decision the other day, i'd have to play at a shisha/drinking bar for better fps, but it's fucking amazing feeling to drink + smoke + game .. i miss raging on the mic though... but i guess both the cafe ppl and the regs wouldnt want me expressing my "emotions" :P
that said, i could use some pointers as to where i fit in this system, i mean i have many years of admining experience at hand, and i wanna resume back at the high ranks of the food chain! soo keep me in check bro if i screw smthn up until i get used to this. not that u wouldnt do it just for the pure need to annoy me
c ya in game.

Meh, that's what PM's are for.

I don't really like how the interwebs are beginning to mesh into one huge fucking spy "social" site.
