### What would you like done?

One of our forum instances involve participation from different groups of members, where certain groups host people who attract a lot of public attention (let’s call them celebrities) communicating with others when they want to (Q&A, discussions, and so on).

We have already provided a way for them to be limited from excessive spam by prohibiting communicating with these people via PM, thanks to guys from Communiteq back in '21 ([[PAID] Group to Group permissions to send private messages to target Group members](https://meta.discourse.org/t/paid-group-to-group-permissions-to-send-private-messages-to-target-group-members/198936)), but now we would like to apply the same logic to mentionables.

Settings for such plugin should cover:

- A: Groups which should be protected from being mentioned by others
- B: Groups which are allowed to mention groups from (A)

If conditions are not met upon posting (when user is not eligible to mention user(s) from specific groups), appropriate composer notice/warning should be displayed.

### When do you need it done?

We’re flexible in terms of time frame.

### What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?

I believe $150-200 could cover such function, but we’re open to discussing the quote with any developers.

### Requirements for qualification

You should have at least some activity at [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) in order to suggest yourselves as possible contractor. In case you’re new to Discourse Meta, please attach your portfolio links or/and something we could verify you as a credible developer/team.
