Mentions

Sometimes, mentioning the specific role or member will be helpful when you want to announce things

Preface

If you want to announce an important thing, which way do you prefer to, just write it or mention some specific members? Most of the people will mention some specific members or even mention everyone instead. Why? Because mentioning can let members know that you want to announce important things, they will come and listen to what you are going to say (but you should not abuse it).

It is essential that you know the way to mention members, roles, channels, here, and everyone, for most of the admin will announce important things with these mentions. As soon as you know these functions, you can easily mention people (including yourself --- .User.Mention). This may be helpful when you are making commands for information about a specific member.
