So this might seem complicated, probably because it is.. but it could be done in the long run, for when ArmorGames makes another major update let's say. When I am surfing my comments I tend to find a bunch that are just a sentence or something I completely find out of context and I am confused. This is mainly because I do not remember what I said to who to evoke such a response! Now I would find it quite nice, if someone is replying to a comment and not just leaving one out of the blue that on my comments it would say "So and So Responding to this message"

Example:

I leave a message on Plokkey's Comments: "Hey Plokkey, I don't know about you but I am so tired lately, do you rather orange juice or apple juice?"

Plokkey looks at his messages and goes oh hey klaus I love that guy. And clicks a special button on my comment to him called Reply or whatever. He says: "Hey klaus, me too! And I quite rather the latter**!"

**If you don't get it, latter means the second choice pretty much

*Normally I would look at my comments and say "wtf?" cause I don't know what he is talking about, I would have to search his comments and find mine to see what he is talking about. BUT WITH MY IDEA it would play out like this:*

I go to my comments, and see 'Plokkey responding to "Hey Plokkey, I don't know about you but I am so tired lately, do you rather orange juice or apple juice?"" then his message. Things would make sense.

But this is complicated and would need more fleshing out. Like the whole Responding to, if it would use the entire message or just a part of it if it's too short, or maybe you can have something like it shows the first 10 words and a "..." and if you click more, it would maximize and show you're entire comment or something like that. Anyways hope everyone gets me. What do you guys think.

@Zophia
I know, I just noticed that there was a gap of several months between the last post and klaushouse's. That's why I was considering locking it. But then I read the original post and decided against it, based on the fact that klaus's post was relevant, and that the idea hadn't been addressed yet.

That's a perfect idea cause I sometimes forget what I said to the person!

Ok it's like this. Let's say me and you are talking about sports. I send you a comment but you don't reply back after a wekk or so. I forget about it and when you comment me I'm like "WTF? What are you talking about".

If we had this, we would know what we were talking about and we would not get confused.

I also agree with someone else who posted, I forgot who it was.

I think if we just had an PMing system with an inbox and all it would be much easier. But I guess this idea is a go.

Would you like PM? I made a thread about it but Carlie and a lot of others didn't like it. =(

I like Klaushouse's idea, it just seems like it could get kind of cluttered with that on the page and that would be a main problem.

I personally agree with having a pm system but if they haven't done it yet, there must be a good reason not to.

Maybe it will come in time. I would like that idea, but it may take a while because we only have one developer.

Why?

Yea, especially when your talking to popular people, it's a hassle.

Why?


Carlie said it only covers privacy issues.

What do you mean privacy issues?

If you mean things could be hidden from mods couldn't they just make it so they could read the messages?

I can't find thread thread i made. No what i mean is that Carlie thinks Private messaging only helps us keep private things between us and others. She thinks that's not important for the moment.

Is that possible? If so, it wouldn't be private. I think it would be great to have a PM system, but they probably will never allow it.
