Mention here when offline/away shouldn't increase mention count

[geekgonecrazy]

Description:

If someone uses @here while you are offline or away.. it shows as a mention. It doesn't alert me in anyway(which is fantastic) but... It still shows as a mention which is not accurate. Because I was not here at time of message so I shouldnt even get a mention.

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.60.3
• Operating System:
  open.rocket.chat

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Join channel
2. Disconnect
3. Login with another user
4. Mention @here
5. Logged in with intial user
6. You have a mention on that channel

Expected behavior:

No mention.. not part of @here when offline or away

Actual behavior:

Mention is added to channel subscription

we used to have this behavior, but it was changed on purpose to the current one, your arguments are solid though.

at the time of that PR, I tested on Slack and it have that behavior, that's why I changed..

I mean it's not end of the world. Just kind of odd by very nature since if I'm not here then the notification doesn't apply to me. But since it doesn't notify its not that big of a deal to have unread.

I can close this since our current implementation is intentional :)

Hi! I'm also seeing this, RC 0.71.1.

As far as I can tell (the description in #7059 is rather bare), it didn't attempt to differentiate here-while-online and here-while-away in the previous change. So it's likely that that change just missed the distinction. It would definitely still make sense to increment the mention count when the user is online and @here was mentioned in a different channel.

So should this issue be closed as there is an on-purpose change or we need to remove that user who is away from @here??
