Maybe tags aren't so bad after all...?
I've just noticed I have my own tag - https://answers.sap.com/topics/steve+rumsby.html!
I guess somebody is trying to re-invent @-mentions?

Yes, the idea is to somehow attract attention of the person. But it's not working :) And looks like the @-mentions functionality was not properly explained to the forum users.
My example:

You're much more in demand than I am, obviously :-)

To my mind @-mentions has to be advertized in the input form for questions/answers/comments!

Thanks Vadim. We will suggest this to our UX team.

I have one too. :) Got to give props to people who actually spelled my name right: https://answers.sap.com/topics/jelena+perfiljeva.html
Was wondering who's the most popular "tag" and thought Jürgen L with 46 questions but Thomas Jung has 57: https://answers.sap.com/topics/thomas+jung.html
Wow!

there at least 3 reasons why I am not leading this list
- the Ü
- there is a second list without the L
- I am removing the tag when I have to change other tags to the question.
Somehow my name appears more in questions that do not belong to my area of expertise
And as https://people.sap.com/lucas.costa3 wrote , especially questions with such tags are rarely marked with a correct answer.
At least i don't get disturbed with extra notifications this way. Especially people who tag me should already know that I read every post in the tags I moderate and don't need an extra beep

I'm sure if we all took a moment to grab a screen shot from time to time of the most ridiculous user tags, we could have quite the gallery. (I'm certain some of the managed tags would belong in such a gallery as well, but I cannot take an official position on that.)

Nice one! What about the missing "back to spaces" tag?

I have one too! I hadn't realized people were trying to get my attention out there this way.
https://answers.sap.com/topics/matt%2Bfraser.html
Only two questions, however. And in both cases, it looks like the authors tagged a lot of people in this manner. And, in both cases, they were in topic areas that I neither moderate nor monitor, areas in which I have no expertise, so I wouldn't have been able to help anyway.
I have seen people add user tags to their blogs for their own name. In fact, I've seen Mentors do that. Perhaps a little "personal brand" building? ;)
Update: for some reason I'm getting an error on 'Submit' on this comment about "Only one URL is allowed in the Link." Huh? Apparently it's the "+" in the URL, which I've now edited to "%2B" instead. I've noticed that the platform does not like these at all, yet they appear in URLs all over sap.com.

That "+" in URL issue needs to be resolved. I briefly mentioned it in this question but it probably merits its own bug report.

People just don't dare to mention your names in vain. :)
