If you still want to include the conversation, you can simply transcript the messages so it looks like:
You: this and that
Them: blah blah
You: more text
It’s a bit more high effort, but that is allowed.

What category would it be best to put in?

Hey I’ve talked to CJ about this (because i was also unhappy about this) and it’s something we really don’t want to have on Wacky Writers as it brings a lot of potential drama. Is there a specific thread in question?

ahh i see.
yeah, one of my coding threads. ^^;
i’m asking because sometimes i don’t have codes/projects saved elsewhere (there used to be no need to) & them disappearing could cause a hassle, but i suppose that’s more of a personal issue.

I need to say, I’m not a fan of the recent change that limits tagging per post… 
I know that this might be needed to prevent spamming, but this is extremely obstructive, to the point that this is disturbing the progress of the community. As a head moderator of the game, I need to make announcements and list the players of the round when I open matches like this.
The last time I checked, it allows something like… Twenty? Thirty? Something?
Even that was already obstructive to the community. I need to keep dozens of users updated whenever we create a new thread, and now the taglist is broken. I need to add preformatted text coding so that any inactive players are not tagged here.
The problem is that, how long can we survive like this? When all of those inactive players returned, what should we do? We would soon hit the roadblock of progression. We want to grow big into community with many members, but now, it might no longer be possible.
Worse is that, right now, I cannot even do any progress to the game. Each time I try to update the list of players in the round, it said that I can only tag 10 users per post.
Hey Crimson! We implemented this to prevent users from spam tagging. What we’re doing instead is asking that if you have a selection of users like yours, just let us know, and we’ll create you a group that you become the owner of. Then, you can add all the players you have and tag the group instead of having a bunch of usernames in one post. This also allows players to leave the group if they wish to stop being tagged and gives users a little more control over their notifications.
Would you like me to set you up with a group for your game?

That would be helpful, but this is still not working properly. Please click here and you will understand why, because the moderators need to create a proper list of players and their submissions. Each individual information need to be updated on their own. This is important so that everyone know which author are for each characters, to keep them stay informed.
I’m looking over this and I’m not sure why you would need to use tags as opposed to just typing the username of the players in question.

I can take your advice to set a group tagging for our taglist, but for specific situation such as making list of players in the round, it would be better to add the tag of the person beside their submission, so people would know who are their author. New members who’s not familiar with the members list would not recognize the username.
Beside, we usually only have 10 to 20 players per round, so 20 allowed tagging per post will solve the issues for us, because people who are not part of the round would be upset if they get tagged in a game that they’re not currently involved with. Remember, each of our game are separated into individual rounds with different story and setting. Some people are only involved in some of them, and it would be confusing if the entire community get tagged without being selective.
For everything else, we can use the group tagging that you suggested.
I will set you up as the owner of a group then! You should see a notification for it shortly.

Hey there! If you’d like for people to still recognise the username, you can simply write the tag and then break it by doing ‘@/username’ or ‘@.username’. This will allow people to still recognise the username above the submission without it counting towards the tag limit.

You guys don’t understand my concern, so let me explain in better length here…
Imagine that we have more than fifty players, for example. Tagging them would be a hassle, right? Doing a group tagging would be easier and simpler, right?
But no, that will not going to work all the time.
Imagine this… Among all of those fifty players, only twenty joined the current game. Remember that each game separated to each rounds, with each setting and story, with different submissions. That means, not every single one of those players are in the current game.
We need to tag only selected peoples that are part of the current game. we can just list the name of the author beside their submissions, but what if we need to tag everyone on the round? The round have twenty players, so it exceeds the tagging limit. Meanwhile, tagging the entire group will bother everyone that are not part of the game, so it would be extremely disturbing for everyone. Doing group tag on this, simply does not work.
Remember, each game separated to each rounds with their own independent setting, and each round usually last for few months. That means, the list of players that are involved on the current round, are different in each few months. This thing need to be stay updated.
The forum is constantly changing, and as we review the needs of the community, we will implement functionality that best suits the forum as a whole. As with any feature or function, the tagging limits will continue to be monitored to determine how it affects the community in its entirety.
You are also able to edit your group membership at your discretion. The current settings prevent users from joining freely, but they can leave freely and be added back when they’re involved in a current round.

For now, that should be suffice. It will work for this month and until the next month, but one day, we might need to do two rounds simultaneously, and when that time comes, God help us.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I will inform everyone again for the progress. 
Hey, I was just wondering if I could get a group tag set up for my sprinting group?
Yes of course! Do you want users to be able to join freely?
