"Allow this role to @mention itself"

Hello, my name is Cyphi and welcome to my suggestion.

Unless I missed something, I feel this would be a good feature to consider.
(Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I've decided to put my own input on it.)

As much as I like the idea of the new "Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles", I feel a strong addition would've been an option to allow members with that role to mention itself.

Here is an example of how it'd work, although it's pretty self-explanatory. (Note: I've used photoshop to give an idea of how it'd work)

EDIT: Let me explain this quick example: In this picture, I would have the role in both sides, Daiseru has the role on the left, but not on the right. So her @mention on the right does not work.

(Obviously, the best implementation would be that the role would not come up as a mentionable for people without the role.)

The reasoning for this feature would be on the grounds of:

-"Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles" allows the role/user to mention more than just a singular role, which would not be useful for non-staff members to be given.

-New users who join a server would no longer be able to @mention a role because "Allow anyone to @mention this role" would be disabled in this case.

-Only members with the role can @mention it, although the "Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles" can override it for the roles/users with that enabled.

This would reduce spam, trolls, and give overall more organization to a server.

So unfortunate nobody has looked into this yet.

Was attempting to write this exact idea as a request, and this post was prompted to me. Very glad to see that it was requested, but sad to see a lack of traction. Well written and presented, much better than I was doing, haha. Hopefully a few comments will give some visibility.

iktomi15 Idk we can still continue talking to each other, maybe the fact that I commented made it visible for you, and us commenting will make it visible for others 😂

I second this. I have a YouTuber role in my server and I'd like the users with this role to be able to mention themselves without allowing all the other users to poke them unnecessarily.
