I think it would be excellent to have a tagging system on the messageboards, much like Facebook or Twitter, in which you could put a tag into a post (i.e. @Fatespinner) and it would generate a PM to that user informing them that they've been tagged. This would make it quick and easy to solicit responses from particular people in a thread you feel is relevant to them that they might otherwise overlook (perhaps they don't frequent that part of the boards, or perhaps the thread is rapidly getting buried in the new posts list).
Obviously, you might want to make Paizo staff members "untaggable" since I can see that kind of feature getting abused for people asking for "official word" on rulings and whatnot, but I think it would be great for most users (especially in Play-by-Posts where maybe someone hasn't checked the thread for awhile or something in the Discussion area requires their input).
I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, or even if it would be worth the trouble, but I think it's a good idea.
Downvote.
One of the best things about this website is it's lack of Facebookization or Twitterization.

While I'm ambivalent about such a request, there are LOTS of other features I'd want to see ahead of something like this. Also, such functionality can already be mimicked simply by sending a PM to that person and including the URL to the post in question.

This is true. I like being able to draw specific peoples' eyes towards given posts, and thought this would be a great means of doing so. Perhaps I'm in the minority.
