I just confirmed with Larry that we're going to build a way for users to send private messages to one another, but the recipient will be able to flag the message as spam/abuse.

We don't know yet exactly what it will look like, but it's on the "to-do" list.

Kyahco: ian is my name, cormyn is my gamer name. I'll answer to either.

I don't know if we'll deal with smileys or not. I'm not a fan, myself.

hmm well i am a fan but this seem to be a "semi-formal" forum kinda (ok not that much). but thanks! cormyn!

uh... the

and like a friend request the other friend has to exept?


is not talking about how to chat or requesting some one to the chat sevire (or user to use messeging i should say), but an ad to the &quotost button" or "carbon copy button", so it makes it more... well nicer that just copying and pasting
it at our on will, but in stead asking the other peorson but it seem not needed! and seem like ya should just ask the person if ya can qoute them or just do it, and copy and paste. i was just asking if you guys where consitering it.

sorry for the missunderstandings!!!!

Well just an observation but the grammar on this page is unusually bad for Ag. At least from what I remember from an yesterday. Well now for an on topic reply...

and like a friend request the other friend has to exept?


Couldn't you also just ask them to be your friend? I mean its a good idea that as been stated before and has definetly been talked about in a "top-secret" facility that AG wants on the people whos words are in green to know about (somewhere in california I think..)

Just hope that privite message is not going to replace comments...


Fix'd!
Sorry that bothered me just leaving like that.

Anyway I seriously doubt tat it ever will but it would probably become a natural part of our lives here at AG where you can either think your way through a game or just slaughter everthing in sight.

What I would like to see is a system where people could see when you were last on. If not that then why not the little green orb again?

The idea of this friend system is that people have to each select them as their friend in order to be on their friend's list, whereas now, you only have to add them yourself for it to show. Even if the user doesn't friend you, you can still "follow" it.

Correct, our current "friend" system is more of a "follower" system.

We haven't decided yet if PM's will be limited to friends only.

I agree with that.
I wouldn't appreciate some total stranger that I haven't even added as a friend on here Private messaging me.

Maybe you could choose who messages you, even if they're not on your friends list.

Hm...well a private messaging system is good! But it should come along with a Block system otherwise we can't simply waste time flagging abusive messages. And moderators shouldn't be able to view these messages..hence the title "Private Messages"

We'll make it a privacy setting. You can allow any user, only your followers, or only your friends. You won't be allowed to block moderators or admins from sending you messages.

That's already in the plan

moderators shouldn't be able to view these messages

We've already discussed this earlier in the thread. Because of legal reasons, we can't just go browsing into user's private messages. However, if a user flags a private message as abuse/spam/whatever, then it will become unlocked for an administrator to review the message thread between the two users to see what's been written, in order to decide whether it requires action on our part. When a user flags a private message, it will prompt them with a confirmation box saying something like "By pressing the OK button, you grant us permission to read this private message." ... something to that effect.

There could be a number of reasons. I can think of...3. Warnings, secret notifications, and certain messages that may be need to be private from other users.
