I think it would be a neat idea to have an @ or mentioning feature on the Lioden forums.

What I mean is that players can mention other users in their posts (something like @PLAYER-ID) and the user will be notified via messages that they have been mentioned (which will link them to the thread and page they were mentioned on). Idk, I thought it would be helpful when it came to forum games and lengthy discussion topics.

Edit
There should be a way to switch the notifications off to avoid inbox overload. If we had a tagging system you could go to your profile in 'Edit Your Details' and disable or enable forum tagging/mentions.

Edit / Update (19/8/2015)
I made a post below on my side account improving on this idea and decided to log in here to add it on the original post as well (screencapped it for neatness):

I like this idea! It would be a lot easier to notify people on auction threads if they got outbid and the such~

I quite like this. :)

I'd totally support if my 'Extensive Blocking' suggestion was put in Lioden, as I've had some major trouble with troll players and would like to avoid having them spam me.

So... Overall, support from me! ^^

Support! I miss threads regularly because I cannot be notified to an update. This would be a big help when there is someone trying to get ahold of me.

I could see how some people could abuse the feature, but I kinda doubt people would try to harass others with it in the form of spamming since that's too much trouble in my book (plus would just spam forums, which is against TOS and would get that player a warning/banned). I do like the extensive blocking suggestion and think that the two features would do well nicely together.

Thanks for supporting, guys! :D

I keep reading it as "mentoring" by mistake

I like, and support the idea, but I think there needs to be a way to opt out on this, lest certain people's inboxes explode. lol

I would support if maybe we had a separate notification box just for threads? I dunno. I feel like having a message to your inbox every time this happened would lead to inbox overloads. xD

A way to switch it off is something I thought of as well. You could go to your profile in 'Edit Your Details' and disable or enable forum tagging/mentions. *will add the suggestion in a bit*

Something like quoting someone?

I see this on many other websites, and you can just have the option of turning off notifications from quotes.

Support~

This is Koga and I'm on my side account.

Thanks for the support! I also had another idea that instead of it sending a message to your inbox and clogging it up, perhaps a message at the top of the site informing you that a player has mentioned/pinged you? Or maybe even a little box on the sidebar that informs you if you have forum pings? :0

Also, quoting people would sound like a fantastic idea as well!

EDIT 1:
If sidebar alerts box was a thing, then it could show 5 pings max. If you have received more than 5 pings, than you can click a link called "show all pings/alerts" to check 'em out as well. Dunno if I explained that well. I'll do quick picture instead:
pings.jpg

EDIT 2:
Also had a thought that when you click on the forum post it disappears and is stored away on the "show all pings" page. This is what an empty Forum Pings box could look like:

I think this idea would work better if Lioden implemented another system of alerts. That way we don't get bombarded with PM's. Like theres space beside the "Messages" up on the toolbar for maybe and "Alerts" for when someone tags you in a forum message.

Thank you!

And SilverWolf, I updated my last post above. Do you think that would work?
