I just signed up to post another use case of unlimited mentions.

I’m a community moderator at the [Fairphone Forum](https://forum.fairphone.com) and we are [planning a community trip to Amsterdam](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/planning-a-european-fairphoners-community-trip-to-amsterdam/10905?source_topic_id=10987). In a group PM I’m composing a list of all the people who are going, differentiating if it’s unsure, or if they need accommodation.

My admin raised the limit to 15 mentions because I complained, but it’s still not enough. Generally speaking, I don’t see why moderators are limited in such a way. There is a reason they are mods, namely because the admins trust them.
