Jun 3, 2021 at 20:47	comment	added	Martin		[...cont] You can @ ANY contributor to the question (i.e. q author, a author, any commenter), EXCEPT in the one scenario where [a user answers your question AND no-one else has commented]... In this scenario, stackexchange regard this as a '2-person conversation' - meaning there is no question of who the comment is directed at, and thus @-ing is irrelevant so is explicitly disabled. PS: I might have kept @-ing enabled personally (disabling it caused confusion as initially thought it might've be a problem with the space in Ekadh's name), but regardless at least I know now, thanks! 👍🏼
Jun 3, 2021 at 20:47	comment	added	Martin		@zcoop98 -- Thanks for sharing How do comment replies work?. I knew some of it (e.g. can't tag multiple people) but found it gave a comprehensive review so would recommend a read to others, thanks for sharing! // [Testing my understanding of the article] using this question as an example - I wrote the question, Ekadh Singh wrote the answer, we are both 'authors'. Even if comments don't use any mentions, the 'author' is notified, thus - I am auto-notified of comments on the question, Ekadh is auto-notified of comments on the answer. [cont...]
Jun 3, 2021 at 19:19	comment	added	Bryan Krause		Not sure I'd be so strongly against option (4), though it might depend on the site a bit. On my own site, I'd have no problem with users flagging for moderator attention if I closed their post and they've since corrected the problem. For example 2, no need to flag for a moderator at that point, but if the edit is reverted again then we have the beginnings of an edit war and a moderator flag is completely appropriate.
Jun 3, 2021 at 19:02	comment	added	zcoop98		@Martin Here's an [faq] post giving a full run-down of the `@mention` feature, if you'd like to read more on it: How do comment @replies work?
Jun 3, 2021 at 18:57	comment	added	Martin		RE: Other members approving edits -- Thanks for explaining this, I did not know about that part of the review model at all, so this was definitely good to know! (Ironically, this question itself has been suggested-for-edit and approved by another user (which 2 hours ago would've completely confused me), so your info is already helping! 👍🏼
Jun 3, 2021 at 18:53	comment	added	Martin		PS -- I have had this issue before, where I can't seem to '@' the author (I type @ and part of the username, but nothing is suggested)... I will look into the usage of @, as maybe I have mis-understood something, (or if anyone wants to post a quick reply that would be helpful)... Anyway, I hope the above note/thanks reaches you!

Jun 3, 2021 at 18:48	comment	added	Martin		Thanks @Ekadh! (Side note: My heart sank initially as I thought this question had been closed and down-voted (which seemed a bit discouraging) however your answer has completely reversed this, thank you!)... Would like to say, as a newbie, trying to learn/follow the rules (and taking 45 mins of my free-time to try and write a comprehensive question) - I do sincerely thank you for taking the time to answer my specific questions, and provide a helpful overall summary / useful points that explain more about the site and how it works). Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it! 👍🏼
