Most of the people I know have gone through their contacts sending them all
a message, I was thinking about a button that could be pressed to send a
message to all the contacts that said "Lanezeri is cleaning his contact
list, please contact him if you wish to stay" or something corny like that.

no offense but that's the worst idea i've ever heard....that is EXTREMLY
ANOYING having a telegram like that...i don't respond to them becuase its
THEIR decision wether they want me on their list or not...its THEIR contact
list not mine

Thank you for your opinion.. I think the person on the other end has a right
to have the choice to be on the list tho..

Agreed as well. We don't need a feature like this.

personally i care if the person wants me on the list or not - its not my
list!

the person who is on someone contact list doesn't have the "right" to decide
what the person wants to do with their list

[View Quote] You guys are seriously no help. Have you anything else to say other
then "This sucks!" Do you think your the only ones with good ideas or
something? *Groans*

As for this idea, it's not bad but perhaps we need to alter it some.
For one thing, maybe the user should have some more information, such as
some of the following ideas.
1) Last time online tab - A tab to inform when the user was last
online or made visable to this user (If and when ignore/hide/visable
flags are added in. They are on Feature Vote.)
2) Last Message sent Tab - Last time we sent a telegraph to someone.
Kind of usefull.
3) Notes Tab - Rather silly but potentionaly usefull.
4) Catagories - Originize your friends. Again silly but when it comes
ot contacts, I think ICQ.

So this would at least give one a lot more information about who they
know on thier contact list and what relationship they have with them.
Then perhaps a mass mailing to all users in all catagories or just one
for update request. The good friends will respond to you, the bad ones
(Or idiots like we see around here) Won't. If they don't, then most
likely you don't need to know them anyway.

How's that?

OK thing, but I wouldn't say it's worth cluttering the GUI that looks pretty
OK now with some button when you can do a copy'n'paste nearly just as
easily. And I do agree with Cozmo, you're the one that has to choose really,
it's not all too much of the contact's business if you have him on your list
or not. Sentacks, we are entitled to think that it isn't such a great idea,
and Lanezeri is entitled to disagree. Just look at his reply to Cozmo,
accepting that we have another opinion.

[View Quote] Alright that's true. I myself was getting a bit nasty there. It just
seems every idea out there gets slapped more then anyone tries to come
up with a better solution. It's easy to poke out the flaws in an idea
then try and come up with more constructive criticism or admit any
similar alternative solutions.

i can only say "this sucks" when it does....

[View Quote] Ya know, you could put some effort into actually trying to be helpfull
instead of a one line complainer.

and umm....i explained myself before and it was a perfectly logical
explaination of WHY it sucks

[View Quote] You gave an explination of why you wouldn't like that kind of message,
not why it's usless nor any help as to further develop the idea. "Its
sucks because I wouldn't like it!" is not what I would call constructive
critisim. And what's with this bug in your ass? You can make comments
but I can't make any back at you?

Oct 23, 2001, 6:21pm

First problem you'll run into is all the morons out there who will fill up
their contact list with people they don't know and then repeatedly press
that button and spam everyone. Second problem is only those who don't
understand that people don't care whether they're on a contact list or not
send those messages. And most of the time, those types of people are
newbies.

[View Quote] Reasonable, understandable and acceptable. Plus not one deragitory
comment in the whole thing. He at least brings up some reasonable ideas
as to why this could be abuseive. Maybe this was in the mind of those
who didn't like the idea but if you don't explain the reasons such as sw
chris has done here, then it just sounds like complaints. In any case.
Thanks, Good point, well taken.

thats exactly what i said stupid

i kind of just blew up at him becuase that kind of message is very anoying
and its the worst thign you would ever implement

[View Quote]

Oct 23, 2001, 8:44pm

No offence people, but shut the hell up.. I don't want to hear your
bickering about it anymore..

My idea was pretty dumb if you think about it.. the next person to say
anything of no use is filtered..

ok i'll stop, i made my point across already...but filtering me isn't
exactly a way to get me to stop something. It's not like ill say "Noo noo
don't filter me please!!!"

The reason why the mass teleport really would suck is :

The bad friends will use it, the good friends don't have a
problem to selectively send grams to ppl. who they want to
note about something. Enough spam junk in emails and snail
mail box, not necessary to have that in AW too.

It has been discussed several times and no one with a little
experience and serious communications interest in AW will
like it I'm sure.


It could be acceptable if the mass telegrams had a special
header that you can block, a checkbox in the citizen options
[ ] accept junk telegrams


An even worse idea has been discussed, to enable telegrams
sent by bots and, except for very few, no one wanted it as
long as it cannot be blocked - maybe eep should add a page
for "unwanted features" to his "improvements" page so these
discussions don't come up over and over again.

You will find that good ideas are discussed serious - like
your idea of a history for sent telegrams - it is a feature
that many are waiting for.
