Allow mentions without text #198

Closed mattflaschen closed 12 years ago

mattflaschen commented 12 years ago

Per the docs machine-only posts should not contain text.

However, posts need text to include a mention.

That means annotated posts with mentions can not be machine-only.

With the new JSON create post format, it should be feasible to allow programmatic mentions without text.

It should allow mentioning multiple users in a single post.

This is done and shipped:

Look for "mentions in machine only posts"
