My next feature suggestion. We should be able to "tag" members in discussions.

I think it would be great if we could tag individuals within a discussion to bring it to their attention for several different reasons. The main reason being that if we know of a subject matter expert that could provide some very valuable feedback on the topic, we could tag them so that they know they have been summoned.
For example, MSG Quick could be tagged in a discussion about Career Counseling that he may not have otherwise seen. Or I could be tagged when someone needs to be corrected on any topic. ;-)

SSG Robert Burns -- Thanks for the idea. You are the first member to be tagged in our new system!
Now everyone can tag members with the @ symbol. We look forward to continue to improve on it as well.
SPC P K. -- Honorable mention. You suggested this as well.

Its for Twitter. When people continue to use the same hashtag it can bring up trending conversations.
At least thats what I think it does, I try to avoid Twitter.

Well, I have some concerns... I would be happy to have people direct my attention to questions that show an interest in knowing my opinion based on my personal experience. I would not want to be asked to comment because I am a member of a minority group. I also wouldn't want to be tagged by people who are really just attempting to drag me into a one-on-one debate. Additionally, I intentionally ignore posts that I feel are repetitious, poorly worded, or are just attempting to "stir the pot." I wouldn't want those to keep popping up for me because someone tagged me.
Overall, I think the idea has merit, but one thing I dislike is some of the game-ism that folks seem to engage in to inflate their statuses. I think the tagging should be limited to being a max of two people and both must already be contacts. This would prevent people from attempting to gain "good question" points by tagging dozens of people randomly. It also allows me to prevent a tagger from pestering me by breaking our connection (hmmm, but actually, can you un-contact someone like "unfriending"? I don't know...)

EXCELLENT points! I think a great option would be to allow a user to prevent themselves from being tagged in their privacy settings.

SSG Burns,
I think this is a good idea. After "SPC P K." addressed a few of my concerns, I agreed with him when he made a similar suggestion.
I am proposing a RP platform feature to invite users/members to a disucssion. Use case-1: Author posts and invitesSgt X posts a topic on leadership. After posting, he sends an invite to SGM to jo...
