In June 11' a new feature was added to keep track of user tagging (check link for reference)
There are two (2) ways to tag a user:1. Mentioning a user is done by
- Mentioning the user in a message: @User
- Quoting a user
2. Quoting a user is done by using the Reply with quote function in a post quoting.PNG
- Using the mention tag in the Editor
- Typing @User ; (replace user by the exact username)
3. Retrieving your notifications
When a user is quoted or mentioned, a notification is sent. The mentions and quote notices can be retrieved from the Profile page, under the Mention and Quote tab-pages

It is possible to edit the user tagging behaviour. You can decide when you will be alerted depending on who made the mention/quote and if you want to view the related alert or not.
In the Settings, go to My Settings >> User Tagging >> Settings
