Apr 15, 2014 at 1:18 comment added gwideman Recently, on numerous occasions, I've tried to start a comment with at-symbol and the name of a previous commenter, and after posting the comment the at-symbol-and-name has disappeared completely. Other times it seems to work fine. Any explanation for this behavior?
Apr 12, 2014 at 23:35 comment added smci I strongly suggest we need a common term for this, how about namechecking? Otherwise it's insanely search-hard, as @IlmariKaronen mentions. 'notification' is too bland, and connotes routine notification of non-comment things. Mods if you agree, please create a tag namechecking and apply to this?

Added the keyword "ping" to the question. It's not directly answered, but hopefully people will get the idea. Hat tip: Ilmari Karonen.
