Mentions get sorted by relationship, and whoever mentions you comes in as a fan

When somebody tags you, until now it was all the same pile. And it is not: a mention from someone in the programme is delivery on an exchange, and one from an outsider is a person who likes you and whom you have no record of.

Mentions get sorted by the relationship of whoever posts them — programme member, guest, or outsider — and each goes where it belongs. The outside ones create a contact record with their profile, which is the list nobody has: people promoting you for free whom you have never written to.

Every record expires after twenty-four months. A contact from two years ago who has not turned up since is not an opportunity, it is noise dirtying the count.
