I don't think using the @ in front of a person's name carries the expectation that they will be tagged the way they are on social media. Rather, it's a way to get someone's attention or to let it be known you are replying to them. I know SafeSpeeder recently replied to one of my posts with an @hbelkins notation before his comments.

The OP uses four in a row, and not as a reply to anyone (since it's starting the thread).

Correct. Like @1, I thought this would ping the admins like users on Discord or Twitter.

Well, as I mentioned above, they have added this support in SMF 2.1.  It's still in RC status, thus, we aren't going to upgrading to it anytime soon, unless the final 2.1 build is released.  And then I'd have to work on a theme for it first. lol.

Correct.

Support for this will come when SMF 2.1 is released.  But that is still some time off in the future.

I was looking at SMF 2.1's proposed changes list out of curiosity, and found out that they're adding an upvotes system. Not sure what the general opinion towards that is like here though.
