Is there a setting I could apply to a user that would make user unmentionable? The reason is - we are primarily a physicla community with strict membership system (people need to pay fees). When people leave, we suspend them and od not delete them so their message history is preserved. I would like…

Maybe add their name to Watched Words so it can’t be posted? There has to be a better way, though.

That’s a good suggestion, but I agree that if there is another option it’d be better. I have a different use-case but what I need is a setting for users to choose if they don’t want to be mentioned, do you think that’s possible or should I create a feature request?
