### Silently mention a user
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A regular mention notifies the mentioned user as well as lets other
 | 
			
		||||
users see the mentioned user's profile. A silent mention doesn't
 | 
			
		||||
notify the mentioned user, making it perfect for when you want to
 | 
			
		||||
refer to someone unambiguously but don't want to bother them.
