I really hate being @‘d

I don’t want to delete the ability to be notified of someone’s reponse because sometimes it’s reallt useful.

But 90% of the time someone is @‘ing me on here with a pointless reponse.

I’m getting an email to tell me that someone on Mumsnet just replies “Yes.”

No need. I only @ someone if I feel is important, or I believe could be helpful.

Am I the only one?

It is a bit odd. However I don’t say enough interesting things to be pinged regularly 😀

LEMtheoriginal · 21/07/2018 22:30

@....... nah that would be childish

condepetie · 21/07/2018 22:30

My tip: never say anything worthwhile Grin

That's my experience anyway!

DancingLedge · 21/07/2018 22:31

You don't like email notifications, switch them off.

Whitecurrents · 21/07/2018 22:31

I'm afraid I can't think of a helpful reply to that

JustVent · 21/07/2018 22:31

LEM is prepared myself for that possibility! Grin

I can’t make @ work, so I don’t use it at all.

@JustVent

Ok.

peachgreen · 21/07/2018 22:37

It's easier to use @ on the mobile app as it autocompletes.

TheMonkeyMummy · 21/07/2018 22:38

Seriously ?

TeachesOfPeaches · 21/07/2018 22:39

@JustVent hmmm

donquixotedelamancha · 21/07/2018 22:39

@LEMtheoriginal. Yeah, it would, but I assume @JustVent knew exactly what they were getting in for with this thread.

TeachesOfPeaches · 21/07/2018 22:40

@JustVent yes

I keep getting notifications for someone else, who has a name similar to one I used to have. People abbreviate her name in their tags so I get the notifications. That is a bit annoying, especially as I haven't used that name for years Grin

JustVent · 21/07/2018 22:49

I’ve switched it off you divvies.

So predictable! Grin

@JustVent

“Yes.”

Shumpalumpa · 21/07/2018 22:52

Isn't there a Site Stuff section for this stuff?

IllHaveALargeGlassOfRed · 21/07/2018 22:59

I was the person whose reply was "Yes" 😀

I get all notifications whether I'm @d or not and it's annoying. I keep meaning to disable email notifications.

SofiaAmes · 21/07/2018 23:01

Yes, I wish there was a way to turn off the notifications.

EdWinchester · 21/07/2018 23:09

I switched it off as soon as it started.

I also hate PMs. Wish they could be switched off too.

redshoeblueshoe · 21/07/2018 23:10

I was reading a thread a few days ago, and someone was being very argumentative, fine, but every post they made was @ posters name. I was irritated for them Grin
