I was thinking that perhaps there should be a notification box (with a link to the post you were tagged in) for when you get tagged in a post since the auto-comment system didn't work out.

I second this for the convenience. Or maybe I'm just a Twitter freak.

Isn't that a cousin of the Red Robin? =)

Or maybe it's an alien... =0

Really, what is the point of a tagging system if the other doesn't know they were tagged?

I don't see any downside to this. Why not.

Yeah that would be really nice! That way the tags would get used more!

However, there is one issue..

Would it be each time a person is tagged they are notified, or each time per post they are in? (With the latter sounding like it'd be more taxing for the admins)

Example:
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian
@Salvidian

Sal would now have 10 notifications.

I always feel like I'm the negative voice in stuff like this...

I personally don't want a system like that. Had them before, next you know you're notification box is all cluttered and full of a bunch of random stuff that I personally could care less about.

I'm all for it if there is an option for turning it off.

Yep and there would be one. How many times do people tag u anyway?

I would assume a person would only tag someone once per post. I don't know why you would have to do it more that once; just use their name without the @ at the beginning.


Hmm..you differed from my opinion and now I'm a bit ticked by you.

I'm against this, if for no other reason than that it stinks of facebook. Realistically! It would just be a huge pain. People would need to write code and add features for something that nobody uses in any real capacity. It's a nifty thing we have going, sure. It serves its purpose as it is.
