Limit mentions in comments to participants Closed Fri 7 Feb 2014 5:01PM
We will limit mentions in LIMITED posts to people who have participated in the post (by commenting or by liking the post).
As suggested earlier in the discussion, this proposal is to limit mentions in comments on a post to the other people who have posted a comment on that post and the person who posted the original post.
This keeps it simple, and prevents anyone being mentioned who would not be able to see the comment in which they have been mentioned because they are not in the aspect to which the post has been made.
(For public posts, we could enable mentioning of anyone, but let's deal with that in a separate proposal.)

This would keep things simple and mean that everyone knows who can be mentioned in a comment, while avoiding privacy leaks.

The main use case for comment mentioning that I've seen is as an alternative to threaded comments. As people already are using it, having a notification connected to the thing would be perfect.

Having used Google+, I know that mentioning someone we know in comments is a great way to not only share a post, but to also engage in the discussion.

To certain extent, I think there could be an opt-out in the settings.

Is it wrong to say 'Yes' to this simply because I have this feature in other social nets? Also I feel if @mentions are given then the person that is @mentioned is more likely to come back to the post/thread, where they may not ordinarily.

People including myself are currently mentioning others everyday using markdown and don't consider it a privacy issue. I think this proposal will create confusion for many users.

If someone has time to look at that, it would be awesome. I often see public posts I want to point to people, mention them would be the perfect solution for that..
