Visual indicator for ping vs non-ping replies

Llew Vallis

It would be nice if there were a small visual indicator to determine whether or not a reply pinged the user who was being replied to. This would mostly be useful for moderation, since it would allow moderators to identify people who are using the pinging variant of the reply function excessively or who are being obnoxious with it.

It could also be useful context for other people who are discussing something that involves an offline user. Lets say User A replies to the offline user and then User B continues that conversation and feels that the offline user should be pinged. It would be useful for User B to know if User A's prior reply pinged the offline user so they know whether a sending a ping of their own is required.

    That is already a thing on Desktop. There is an @ before the username if it's a ping:

    Yup! There is now, although I believe at the time of posting there was not.
