You're not at all crazy Divinus. I can't tell you how monotonous it is of a task to email several members about the same thing worrying about A--not spamming so you have to word it different each time, and B--taking the time to literally pull up every profile one at a time and clicking mail.
I can hear people getting mad telling us that we don't have to email members about different things, well that's true, but we also don't have to keep the coven running smoothly or at that, running at all.
I would also love this feature to be made sometime in the future.
From what is been said by you all, you do a lot more then what is realised having to work around loop holes in a sense that in some cases should not be there, as for the mailing, priest/priestess should be able to communicate to its member by any means possible, and this looks like it would save a lot of time so your time could be spent more on helping to teach and guide the members of the site, thank you for the hard work you put in and i hope this gets voted in, you have my vote.
i cant see why it would be necessary ? surely a personal e mail on a one to one basis shows more of a personal touch than mass mailings ? although i do understand the reasons given in the above comments. just my own thoughts, blessings be , macus
What I can see in the benefits is instead of making a new sticky for every announcement you just send an email blast. Keeps the coven forum cleaner (covens often have more stickies than they're like) and the members that are worth even a moment of your time are practically guaranteed to get it.
But I do see the personal email being better for certain things like welcome letters, personal matters, select topics, etc...
I fully agree with that, I would love to see a mass PM set up for covens. Cause it would really help when us priest/ess, who want to send a PM to all members in the coven.
