Like Arkshine and Canapin, I have the same sentiments. I like that the Team are involved with the community as it makes you feel valued.

On other forums I’m on, there is also a ‘rule’ about tagging staff members. But the wording is ‘avoid’ doing to making it seem like in some cases you can? I like it when its black and white with rules/etiquette.

As for Meta, I can’t remember when I last mentioned a team member? I don’t always know who does what role wise, so etiquette aside, I wouldn’t feel confident mentioning team members let alone the right ones.

But my view, I don’t think mentioning staff for attention unless it’s important is good as there are lots of other people here who can provide an answer.

I found a relevant-ish post by Hawk on a similar matter asking about mentions.

Part of the “team members don’t respond enough on Meta” is a symptom of notification fatigue.
