@sam, I disagree with your opinion that this is not needed. Let’s say, (all hypothetically) that as @downey suggested there are 15 members who worked together on something. They completed it, and now I (a moderator) want to recognize them. But, our site has a 10 mention limit. As a moderator, I cannot exceed the limit, nor can I create a group for them (Admin only). Another disadvantage of groups (for this specific scenario) is that the names of those I am _recognizing_ are not particularly visible to a forum user. They would have to know to click the group, then click members to find out who I was talking about.
