I’m interested, does the @ feature ping the person who you add after the @? If so what is the limit?

This Easter, we're decorating eggs in collectible form! With the fast approach of our traditional forum egg hunt, we're starting with a brand new egg collectible creation contest! See TBT's Easter 2025 Egg Collectible Creation Contest in the Bulletin Board for more details. Submissions are open!
Does using the @ user mention function ping the user who you chose?

Ok! Also, Is that to prevent spam?

Why does it not apply to staff? Why would they need to ping more than 5?The number of people you can @/ping is 5 (does not apply to staff). Anyone after the first five won't receive a notification.
I don’t think it has anything to do with spam. I think it’s just the way the forum works and there’s nothing the staff can do, but don’t quote me on that.

But people may do 10 pings for example for no reason, so maybe it’s to prevent people from overpinging.
I believe they would ping more than five for giveaways. For example, the 12 Days of Collectibles thing they do around Christmas may have multiple winners!

That makes sense. Thanks for telling me!

You can also use a special BBCode tag to add a link to their profile without mentioning them.
Example to link to my profile without pinging myself: ILoveAnimalCrossing123
instead of @ILoveAnimalCrossing123
