Question Usergroup viewing permissions

[Antec]

I looked through the 5 pages in this section but could not find the answer to my question. My main concern is right now we have a separate section in our forum for only staff members, and I have the mod disabled for these sections because I am not sure if everyone can see the tags in this section.

Basically, I would like to be able to @StaffA about a post in a thread concerning UserA without it showing in StaffA's profile that he was tagged in said thread. Does this make any sense? Because in a user's profile it shows which posts he was tagged in, so basically I do not want UserA to be able to look in StaffA's profile and see a thread with his username. Make sense? lol

Does the mod autoblock said tags from those not able to even access the section of the forums...basically does it follow the forum permissions set for each usergroup?

It follows the "Can View Forum" permission for usergroups.

To test it, you can post a test thread in your staff forum (or set up a new forum with the same permissions as your test forum) and mention someone, then in another browser visit the mentioned user's profile - you'll see the mention doesn't appear

Thank you for the fast response...But what if someone mentions me in said staff section...can a normal user go to my profile and see the mentions for me in my profile?

No, the same conditions apply.

Regardless of who mentions whom, the forum in which the post that contained the mention is what controls what permissions are applied
