You can put your own nickname next to the names of other users, to catalog them/ mark trolls or whatever. That seems to be what the guy above us is doing. (Sorry guy above us I forgot your name and am nit sure if a comment saves if i go back to check it)

Tags are much more noticeable than user names. It tends to stick out more from the rest of the post and makes you notice who the poster is. After seeing them enough you tend to get a feel for the type of content they post about.
