New rule preventing multiple @notifies causing Convert to Comment to fail

As a moderator, I am trying to turn this answer into a comment. The answer starts with “@chris @vebjorn”. I get the following (full-page) error message:

Only one additional @user can be notified; the post owner will always be notified

I think this check should only be applied when a user is posting, not when a moderator is converting an existing post.

I worked around the problem by editing the answer before converting it into a comment.

  • Also this seems like a way for a user that cannot comment to change his answer to a comment to circumvent the rules!

    It's annoying but currently the only thing you can do is remove the @s or escape them with backticks
