Today we've added the ability to change which users can Mention you. In order to access this option, navigate to your Privacy Settings under My Settings. Here is a direct link: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/user/settings_privacy

With this new option, you can choose to either continue receiving Mentions from all users, restrict the system to Friends only, allow all Verified Users, or to simply turn them off completely. Note that regardless of your setting, the Mention will always show up in the posting user's post. The only difference now is whether or not you receive the accompanying Notification.

Seems like there should be more options than Verified users. 3 karma is a pretty low bar for new accounts.

Needs to be a blacklist feature like Ignore rather than just a blanket setting.

I still have my Mentions turned on. They can be helpful for me sometimes so I just ignore the annoying spammy ones and check the ones that sound useful.

Now we can lazily copy and paste the mentions list in the warned general and not have to hear you complaining every topic.

And I absolutely refuse to use the Ignore feature, but if they started to randomly mention me in topics as I've noticed some users here often do to others, I'd rather just mute the notifications coming from that one person instead of put them on ignore.

Okay maybe I am misinterpreting things as in my deleted post that I immediately found flawed. >_>

But anyhow. Verified User.

That's a status that not only requires you to verify your email, but also be at least a New User (that is, a minimum of 3 Karma).

So 3 karma then, thanks. (What if the account is warned?)

We made another change to Mentions. Now, when you are Mentioned in a quote, you will no longer receive another Notification about it. The Mention will still show up in your list, though it will be noted with a quotation mark icon so you know it was just a quote.

How does it feel to have finally made a positive change to this site that genuinely curbs harassment?

IMO it would have been easier for you to just ban people that were harassing me with @'s, but to each their own.

Great change.

Im still down with the idea of a blacklist for mentions, too. 80% of my mentions come from a single person dragging me into bullshit topics.


Did they ever so much as give the person a NKL? It's amazing how obvious trolling and harassment can be, and SBAllen and his mods willingly look away.
