A Viable Option for Group Messaging
For years, group leaders have been wanting to message their group members for important announcements or whatever. Bungie has given us A LOT of features with Bungie.next, but this feature hasn't happened yet. I doubt it ever will.
Perhaps I'm wrong and it will come during this beta, but it doesn't seem likely. I can't see a messaging system supporting 100 people, much less 1000. It would bee too cumbersome.
I might have an idea to solve this issue. What if a thread were created in a group that has an option to "Notify all group members" (perhaps an option reserved for the Admin only?) where members of that group are actually [i]notified[/i] of that thread, rather than messaged.
What do you guys think?

4 RepliesIn terms of native Bungie.next functionality, I think your suggestion is the best way to solve this particular problem. A few positive 'howevers' occur to me, though: 1: It doesn't seem terribly difficult to implement an 'announcement' system that allows one way mass messaging, and replies on a one on one basis. If the intent is for one way messages, perhaps Bungie can sqeeze something like this in. 2: The ( hopeful ) release of the Bungie.next platform API may allow enterprising individuals to create a tool that would allow this. For the purposes of preventing spam, its distribution would have to be fairly tight ( by forum Ninjas, to forum Ninjas and group leaders, etc ). I know of a few guys here in #scripts I'm sure could put something like this together :)

1 ReplyAgreed, all those in favor say aye!

2 RepliesEdited by A 3 Legged Goat: 1/17/2013 2:48:10 AMAnnouncements should send notifications to all group members either by default or when checked.

love the idea! we will have to tell DeeJ
-
I like the idea, could benefit groups immensely.
-
1 ReplyGood idea.
-
I concur with this recurrent suggestion.
-
1 ReplyVery solid idea. I would say abuse would be an issue, but Admins don't tend to troll like that and if they did, people would just leave the group.
-
Simple but it works. Characteristics of some of the greatest ideas.
-
Here is all you have to do, let groups make notifications that appear to users.
-
Great concept buddy. Good call!
-
Duardo stop being so smart.

Edited by Spawn: 1/15/2013 10:35:47 PMI would absolutely love mass private messaging (MPM). At least give the option to members of the group to "opt out" of receiving them. Perhaps by default they are "subscribed" to them, but can always take them off.
-
Gimme! Yes please!
-
I think that's a great idea. Make it an Admin only tool and it would be even better.
-
I like that Idea.. Its like a beacon to let all group members know that there is something important to read.
-
Very, very good idea. :-)
-
great idea, or also let there be an option to choose members.
-
More group options are definitely a good thing. I like this one.
-
Always in favor of more group options.
-
Sounds like a good idea.
