Tagging/Referencing
This might get confusing since we already have a useless function called tagging on here that people only use to be dicks. So let me explain it and then we can call it something else.
We've got a lot of threads like "Spill your Guts" and "Recommend Music to [Poster X]". In many cases, I don't see a reference to anything directed my way until later. Can we look into finding a way to post something and allow that post to notify someone they've been addressed in a thread? On facebook (where I'm taking the term from) its usually @Jackhammer.
If we did that here, the site would PM him with a link to the post mentioning him. It would allow the discussions to be more fruitful. Lets call it "referencing."
