I think you've missed the gist of my original question. Perhaps I wasn't clear:
I want to shut off any notification when someone @ mentions me in their post. I don't want to receive a notification at all when someone @ mentions me. I don't want it to show up on my notification bell at all. This person is @ mentioning me ten times a day, and I don't want those ten to register on my notification bell for obvious reasons.
As far as your reply is concerned, however, I'm not sure the rest of the info is correct. At least, that's not how it works for me (desktop platform).

On the desktop platform, all I have to do to clear the notification number from the bell is click on the bell itself, which then takes me to the "Notification feed" page. That clears the number from the bell. I do not have to open any of them. They still show up on the dropdown list that appears when hovering over the bell, but the number is cleared when one opens the "Notifications feed" page.
I would far prefer to be able to clear the notification bell right there in that dropdown menu--like a "Clear All" option--instead of having to open the "Notification feed" page, but that option doesn't exist.

Again, assuming we're referencing the same thing, everyone's profile displays the "count of posts made to community forums."

Yes, I would suggest one would want a complete record and history of posts for any number of reasons, the least of which might be an accurate result when using the Community search function. Removing older posts would provide an inaccurate and incomplete result. The Community Team already deletes, archives, and restricts access to certain threads, as well as anonymizing Community accounts of previous staff, both of which has caused problems for a number of posters. If they start removing older posts by all Community participants, the historical context of the Community will be denigrated.
That "block" would be of no use to me for this situation. I'm trying to eliminate receiving notifications at the notification bell in the upper righthand corner.
The screenshot you've posted is to block EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS for posts I'm @ mentioned in. I'm not asking how to block email notifications.
If I were asked to vote I would vote against any programming that changes the current way @ mentioning is used on The Community. Some members rely on emails to know when they have been responded to and others, like myself, rely on the @ mention feature so that I KNOW when someone specifically wants me to see a reply.
On a few rare occasions, and I mean REALLY RARE occasions a member has asked not to be @ mentioned which to me seems somewhat strange. It would make absolutely no sense for members here to suddenly have to keep a list of certain members who only want to be communicated with in a specific manner or else risk being reported. And then of course you will have those situations where a member changes their ID after having asked someone NOT to @ mention them then do it again on the new ID ... resulting in another potential reporting situation.
It will be easier for the rare few (and again, the REALLY RARE few) to simply accept that they may be @ mentioned and deal with it.

@candd205 Another solution might be to get on the list of IDs that have the NO Notifications error (pic below) ... my account has had this all week on two different browsers ...it has been reported but it still persists ... I typically don't check threads or posts unless they appear on my Notification feed ... that's what its there for ...
