Suggestion: Tagging Feature

So i know the replacement to tagging a person is quoting their post, but I think tagging the person could be much maybe not simpler but a bit easier. Like for example in the user appreaciation thread, you can tag each person you wanna appeaciate and they get notified and can see it right away. If I need explain more I can.

Being able to @ tag people has been requested many times over the years and is something I think literally everyone wants, so at this point it's just a matter of when the developers are going to add that function in.

if its been requested a lot, probs low on their to-do list here
