Now it is working for first time :
I'm totally fucking with you bro. Just wanted to see how you would react

@mentions don't work with special characters in standard format, so you have to be a little creative. There are two options:

Lazy way: Try to find a match using keywords (e.g. Alpine, MSS, Alex, etc) -- this isn't guaranteed to work all the time.

Proven way: Grab the user id and matching username format (case sensitive) and complete the mention code manually.

Example:

Code:
@<Alex@Alpine>(contact:83193) 
@<Ryan@IND>(contact:35504)

Note: Replace carrot characters with square brakets [ ]
As for searching with usernames containing special characters, this works just fine without any trickery.
