      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 58052.sync_sys@1:103/705 2c92fd96       PID: Synchronet 3.21a-Linux master/c5f547bfd May 19 2025 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.27-Linux master/c5f547bfd May 19 2025 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: VERT       CHRS: ASCII 1       FORMAT: flowed       https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/932#note_7249              Mention support was added in October of 2024 (c3eba291).              Trying to grasp how this is "highly annoying". The very idea of a mention is       that it be attention grabbing in case you're idling, and someone sees you're       in the room and wants to chat with you.              I could see the audible aspect of the mention being user toggle-able, maybe       just a CRTL+M to mute chat sounds or something. But then I have to wonder, and       forgive this for seeming flippant, why could the user not just mute the PC or       application? Or leave chat if you're not available?       --- SBBSecho 3.27-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/267 280 281 384 410 418 420 2744 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
