Topic: Ideas for the site.

@antdickens PM's is a great idea - If it can be expanded into 'group messages' too, that would be fantastic. You could have a group for specific online 'games' where people can set up gaming sessions - maybe even a PushSquare gaming 'group' chat for example and do lets play sessions, stream or record for youtube etc. I know the PS4 allows this too but its easier to type on a keyboard and you can chat without necessarily being on the console. I know I would find this useful as I game on multiple devices and could 'plan' to be on my PS4 at the right time.

I know its not 'necessary' as we can use the Forums for that too but it could still be a useful extension to have 'Private group messages' as well as private individual messaging.

@BAMozzy one step at a time

@antdickens LOL of course....

@antdickens I really could do without PM. That's all we need is for spammers and people to harass each other thru a PM system. I just don't need people @ me because they are getting harassed by someone or getting spam in their in boxes. Lastly I don't really want to be getting over a hundred PMs from users because of a spam attack while I am asleep because heaven forebid I am not on the site 24/7.

I honestly think a PM system is a bad idea we have been doing just fine without one and it will cause problems.

If everyone is insistent on having one, then maybe have it a option like if you don't want it then it's not added to your account or something like that.

@Tasuki If someone PMs you about something related to you being a moderator like that then it should make for a clear suspension I think (just have to make sure it's clear that's a rule). At that point it's called the contact form. Honestly, I don't get why people don't think reporting is just as effective as all the other stuff.

Wouldn't you be able to just block someone from sending you PMs?

@Jaz007 I don't why people don't use the contact form honestly but it seems that if I don't answer right away or a spammer comes around when I am asleep that by @ me is going to do something. People just don't have patience nowadays it seems. I had to block a user on this site from PSN and Twitter cause every time a spammer would hit they would blow up my PSN inbox and Twitter Account.

@get2sammyb Yeah but going through and blocking everyone would just so cumbersome. And as I said before if people.want to PM each other there are thousands of sites out there to do it already. There's discord, Facebook messenger, Google Hangouts etc. that I can't see why we would need on for the site. It's just going to be more trouble for the staff then it's worth if you ask me.

I like the idea of this site having PMs, but I think being able to disable it as a feature would be good idea too. I wouldn't mind having it, but for those who don't want to bother, it'd be a good feature. It would help everyone win. And if @tasuki would only be responsible for the main site and not PMing that would be reasonable too. I think the man has enough work from the main site already lol. I mean really, the man does a lot for us.

@Jaz007 To be honest as can be seen, I am against PMs so no offense but I wouldn't even deal with modding them. If Sammy, or Robert want they can but if they are added I wash my hands of them. I spoke my piece and staff knows my stance on them. So one of the other staff members can keep them in check.

Is it possible to have an upload option added so that we can upload photos and stuff from our devices? Not everyone haswants social media accounts or register with yet another Web site, just so that some of us can share photos on this site.

@JohnnyShoulder Just use a site like imgbb. They work fine, they're very easy and quick to use, and you don't have to sign up for anything!

@Octane cheers, I'll check that out!

I'd be up for a PM system. If you don't want it you just disable the feature or block certain people, no? So what's the problem?

I'd enjoy chatting one to one with several of the guys on here. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm being optimistic that they'd feel the same way 😂

I also support the concept of a PM system, but it's defaulted to off so that people can only PM you if you turn it on.

@kyleforrester87 Don't worry, we can all block you too

@Octane HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'd be up for a PM system, not sure how often I would used it but it would be good to have.

I can see @Tasuki concerns but when I created a forum a couple of years back there were various tools available to mods so it wasn't such a free for all. I'm sure there will be something similar available to the overlords on this forum.

Does this mean the site will have PMs soon? Any chance of an ETA, or still a long way off?

@ToddlerNaruto Well, it seems @Tasuki is hoping it's a long way off!
