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 :-)
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
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.)
I have one too! I hadn't realized people were trying to get my attention out there this way.

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.
Nobody tagged me. :(
Or me. Or I'm too fick to figure out how to check. ;-)
Me either. I kinda feel like Charlie Brown getting a rock on Halloween...
Steffi Warnecke Matthew Billingham Jerry Janda I PROMISE, if I ask a question, I will tag you.
You're welcome!

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