Prevent email addresses from being counted as mentions

Contribute Bug

Hi there,

Is there any built-in way to prevent this behaviour or is a plugin ?

Thanks!

Not sure I understand what you mean since emails aren’t counted as mention (test: foo@damien.bar).

I think he means that email addresses are counted against the max_mentions_per_post.
I can’t test it right now, but I think I noticed this too some time ago. Not sure if it still happens…

Yeah this is bust … tagging as a bug

1@test.com 1@best.com @best @not

Post.find(162234).raw_mentions
=> ["test", "best", "not"]

There should be 0 raw mentions on my post here cause nobody was mentioned.

Exactly, sorry I could not provide more input.

I could not see any post or issue related to this problem, and I thought that may be related to some misusage of the application in some way eheh

Thanks for the quick answer!
