PM message suggestions

Another suggestion would be to allow moderadors and/or admins, to have user groups for announcements. So, If we change our forum rules, for example, we could be able to notify all users by PM.  Or announce something for a specific group of users (no user groups, but group of pre-selected users.) This would be much better than trying to email all users, because would not be considered SPAM, would not spend external network resources and would just add some database row, not even a big grow in database size (even because users can delete it latter). The only thing to take care is to disallow any email report for this messages (of course!).

Depending on the amount of users you have, I would suspect that it would add more than 'a row' and it would increase the size of the database, since you are sending a private message to ALL users, which would result in 14,000 new Private Messages added to the database.


But the rest of your ideas are very good.

I would also like to see control for private messages based on Group and Individual bases, basically the same system thats used for forums.

I've merged your two threads, since there essentially the same thing and you have just simply expanded on your original post.

Another one: The admin be able to see how many PM each users have already sent and received. This would be useful to see If anyone is using your forum for marketing purposes. Exemple: would be pretty strange to have a user with 100 PM and only 5 forum messages.

No I dont think there is.

I was able to merge these to as it was just 1 post.

It shouldn't be to hard for that feature to be added, though it may be best to post it as a new topic for it to be noticed, I may make a mod for this feature though.
