Under Consideration Tag all users

[t2van]

I did think this might be handy to do a "@allusers" kind of tag but then thought how much abuse it would get from forum users (me)

However when there was a new rule change yesterday and you had to agree to terms before continuing I did think it might be handy for staff or admin accounts to do a "@allusers" so everyone gets the little notification icon they been tagged.

Can be used go check out a post change with rule updates, forum announcements or something just to get everyones attention rather than a post in a thread that might get lost?

Could even be introduced at member level as well if something was just concerning sapphire, founders and so on?

Not sure now I type it if it's warranted or if you can do that already - from a quick search it's an optional plugin?

There’s a mass alert feature that’s built into Xenforo’s backend that can be used instead. I can use it to specify all members based on activity, membership level, etc.

I think it’s a good idea to make this part of our standard procedure, especially now that updates to the forum aren’t happening every day, so the alerts wouldn’t be overwhelming.
