Hello, I was wondering how the whole
@mentions system works, because I seem to get confused over if it's working correctly or not. So, the only way it will mention users is if the username will come up blue correct? It won't work actually mention the user if it's not highlighted in blue? As for mentioning users and notification settings, does mentioning a user supercede all notification settings for their account? Does mentioning users also go past blocks too? What about
@mentioning forum staff and SimGurus? One more question, if I edit a post (far) later with a mention of a user, will that mention be notified to the user since I edited the mention into a post much later than when I posted it? Thank you.

Oh? What about regular forum members? Does that @mention have to be in blue to be properly mentioned?
For full members, the tag has to be highlighted in blue.
If you go back and edit in a name later on, the simmer will not get the notification

I'll do my best to answer the questions
As @lisasc360 and @rosemow said - New Member @mentions may not be highlighted in blue, but can still work. Full memebers @mention needs to be in blue to work. @mention notification is governed by "Notify me when people mention me." setting, if that notification is disabled you would not get notifications when some one tags you. If someone you have on the Ignore List tags you, you will still get a notification, but the post will still behave as a posts from ignored people do - content is hidden. Notifications on @tags work the same for EA staff or SimGurus as for normal users. Adding an @tag in an Edit will not trigger a notification to the user that was tagged.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

If someone quotes a post where you have been tagged (even if the @tag is a few quotes in) you will get a notification.
I do agree that can get a little annoying, so it is on my list
Thanks,
