    Well yes...
    I am not sure if this has been suggested before,but I was wondering would it be possible to up the number of people you send a PM to?
    I mean,while 5 is normally grand....upping it to 10 or so might be handier,say if you want to send something or important information to more than 5 people,and it could save time?
    Yes I am just being lazy. :3
    But honestly,what do other people think? As this is just a random idea that popped into my head.

    While I'd likely never get use out of the feature, I can see how it'd benefit some people a lot. I support this, if it's plausible to implement.

    This would have helped with the Get Well Luxord group. Support.

    I believe you're able to send more once you hit Prem, and then more should you become staff.
    I don't really think it's extremely necessary; if you're sending to more than five people you can just copy and paste your message into another set of five. I don't imagine many would be PMing more than ten people about the same thing very often.

    You're not. Unless I did it wrong, last time I tried sending a mass PM, I had to do it in sets of five.
    This thing would work for game and RP threads so I do support.

    Well...I was never Prem, so I wouldn't know lol.
    I can see it maybe being increased as another Premium benefit, but as for everyone getting an increase I'm not sure on.

    It's currently set at five for both Normal Members and Premiums, I believe it's at ten for all staff (though the usergroup permissions have been whacked out before, until a few weeks ago Premiums could have larger avatars than half the staff, ahaha).

    I'm willing to bump it up by a few (more for Premiums, of course), but we should try to keep it as low as possible; advertising via PM is made much easier if they can send it to more people at once.

    like DPWolf said, can't you just copy and paste what you typed on a message to each person? It's better than just retyping the entire thing.
    Even still, I'm not really against this, I'm just saying.

    I thought it was deliberatly capped to avoid spamage of adds and stuff in PM's.

    This

    But I wouldn't mind having this feature implemented.

    It is. But what's being proposed isn't a removal of the cap itself, but a larger cap.

    I support this, and I would suggest a ten person limit for normal members, possibly a fifteen limit for Premium, and twenty for Staff.

    Or maybe I'm just being a bit noob-ish and suggesting stuff that would wreck the natural balance of KHV's universe.

    I think we could at least have it increase as a premium benefit so I can hold it over normies.

    When I made a game thread, I tried PMing all of the participants (about 17) that it was starting and the details about it. It took four PMs and I had to wait a whole minute between each one.
    Same when I do RP-related PMs.

    I mean, it isn't important or much of a hassle, but it would cut time and be useful for those who do need to send mass PMs for whatever the reason.

    > Bumping for a verdict.

    I'm for the idea for reasons mentioned above. It's just a hassle to have to send out batches of PMs when you have a large group to contact.

    As for bots or advertisements, if someone were to send out a bunch of PMs like that, they'd no doubt be reported and dealt with regularly.

    This is fine with me.

    I've had the rare occasion where I want to send something to multiple people and the cap makes it tedious.

    I might not use it much, but I think it'd be useful to some people. That's why I think it should be gone through with.

    I support the idea of this. Although, the idea of it being for only prems and staff..while i can see how that would be fair, it's been said it would help for games and RPs (which it would). Alot of the people that starts RPs and games are normal members, and rarely make posts that count in other sections so..well that would be slightly unfair to those members.

    Have we had PM-based spambots recently? I don't recall ever being messaged by one.

    In support.
