I think it would be useful for everyone, but especially new members to be able to use @mod to tag all mods if a post needs to be moved or deleted.

That could be useful if a newbie doesn't know any mod usernames, but it's not needed a whole lot.

Useful, but doesn't seem necessary. It's pretty easy to figure out which mods area active at a certain time, and if a newbie doesn't know who the mods/admins are, he can look in the Help & Info section.

But I don't see a downside to it, and it can't be too hard to code (though I may be wrong).

It would be easier than tagging them all individually.

What do you think, Sethaniel?

I think I was just reading the thread where Taco tagged "@nonpreasentadmin (sic)", and I was about to tell her she could tag me, when you tagged me, and I came over here.

I don't know anything about coding, so I'm the wrong person to ask if it would be easy.

I like the idea of a tag that alerts all mods, because I notice a lot of the time people do only tag one or two of us, and it often isn't the ones who are most active. Also, there's a lot of misspelling.

I don't know how it would work, though, if one wasn't a particularly active mod and showed up to find several hundred "tagged" notifications.

I can see that that could get annoying, and the coding to remove tags resolved by other mods could prove to be a daunting undertaking.

I always figured it was easier to ask somebody else on the site for help and if a mod was needed then they would contact the mod.

After that you would know a Mod(/or Admin) is and know how to tag them. So the @Mod thing seems kind of pointless in my opinion.
