As designed Editing post to add @-mentions does not send out alerts

[Rasmus Vind]

Users of my site are complaining about alerts not working when adding @-mentions as an after-thought to a post. It has also been discussed here in the past:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/tagging-mentions-alerts-not-always-working.102017/
Here's but one thread about this topic on my site:

I can understand that this could be abused to spam people by repeatedly remove/add the same person to @-mentions, but I still think it would be worthwhile.

That is currently as designed.

I believe there is an open suggestion related to it.
