@mention limit

I started a drinking game wiki post yesterday and have found that it’s quickly bumped into the limit of 10 @mentions for a post.

The BBS drinking game

After being here for a while I think it’s time we had an official BBS drinking game to capture some of the fun and quirks of this place both for posterity and for newbies to get a feel for the place. While this is a drinking game, alcohol is not necessary. Non-alcoholic beverages are an acceptable substitute. Either way, play at your own risk. THIS IS SPARTA!Your bladder will suffer.

I understand the intent of mention limits but in the case of this posting, @mentions are kind of required and having it limited to 10 users is kind of stifling.

Is the limit a hard limit? Can it be overridden on a case by case basis? Also is it really necessary to have a limit for root postings – or in this case, wiki postings?

It’s a global config. There’s no override by post type or post vs reply, unfortunately.
