1) Eh, possibly. I'm not a big group person so I don't really see the need for something like this because couldn't the person just make a thread saying what would be said in the PM?
2) You do know there's a quote feature for PMs right? There's your outbox. I'll admit there's times where I though to myself "What the -blam!- did I just send?" But I don't think that an outbox is completely necessary.
3) I agree with such a thing. It would allow for better trackage of mods, the only people I PM because I have no life.
4) Eh, not necessary. Once you get into the habit of adding [i] or [/i] to posts, it takes less time to type because you don't have to remove your hands from the keyboard. I don't have a problem with the way it is.
5) Reporting Threads through the current PM system has never been a problem for me.
I would suggest expanding on these features discussing pros and cons because you're not really providing much of an arguement to add these features. But that's just me.
I kept my post short, because many of these features have been discussed before, however, I will expand on them now. Thank you for the feedback.
1. PM all members group function -- It would save group leaders a lot of time, but it needs safeguards to prevent PM spam.
If you are an admin in a group with hundreds or over a thousand members, then it would be very HELPFUL to have a PM all button. That way an admin could directly pm members a weekly update or an important announcement.
2. Outbox -- How hard would it be to have an outbox? That would help any of us who send a lot of PMs to different people.
An outbox would help me remember the content of old pms and discussions. For example, I could keep a copy of my ground introduction pm in the outbox. It would save me time. It might also be a good feature for other group leaders and the Bungie ninjas.
3. Friends List/Address Book -- This would also make the PM system easier to use.
Every other forum I have visited has this feature. This way I could quickly pm multiple people or someone that is not in many of the groups I am in. It would help me keep track of my friends on B.net.
4. Text Marking Buttons -- Buttons that with one click allow users to add marking to PM text.
This is simply a convenient and quick feature. The private group articles already have this feature. The buttons are also helpful for new members.
5. Contact Mods/Report Questionable Threads -- Have a feature in the PM system that makes it easier for members to report offensive material.
I use the current system, but this is a faster way to report questionable threads. It would also help new forum members. Most forums want it to be easy to contact mods.
