Oh, oh, oh!
I have an idea, and it is a good one.
We've recently been talking about the member trust system and how it is collecting data. We've got plenty of tools to assist with the negative side of membership (blacklisting, thread locking, warnings, etc.) but one question that has always been tough is "what would be a good reward to offer members who are in good standing and have shown themselves to be trustworthy?"
How about this?
The ability to point your PM traffic (inbound and out) to a mail account (POP or webmail) so that the member can then manage their incoming PM's, see their sent PM's, and even use PM distribution lists (fabulous for group admins). Such a feature would be an "Elite Reward" and only given to those members who are trusted by the site and if abused, they would loose those privs permanently.
If would involve making a POP, hotmail, gmail, etc. gateway, but I think that it could be done. The reward would be beneficial to those who earned it and the gateway could monitor traffic for abuse (PM spambotting, etc.).
Does that basically mean using your actual e-mail account for bungie.net communications? Sorry I didn't understand it, I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to computers (hence why my 360 is not yet connect to Live...can't get the damn router working right).
