(Note that @-mentions in comments don’t redirect threads to forums. Only thread initiators can trigger cross posting.) So it depends on how many people outside the forum you think should see the post. For instance, if you wanted your post to a _Politics_ forum to be read by everyone you know, you would issue a public post and mention @politics. You might occasionally also do this if you felt the Politics forum needed to become better known in your community. This can be good practice - as long as it's not overdone.
