Support! Mass pings are valuable for tools to get specific accent/g1/id pings, but also used in dominance programs pretty much every week - like informing when raffle ends, programs opening, in and out of flight stuff etc

Huge support as always; first thing I thought of was GASP tbh

[quote name="Doglover287915" date="2023-10-26 10:16:36" ] I think one good compromise may be to keep mass pings but add the ability for specific users to block mass pings only. This way users who don't interact with mass pings can avoid them and only use pinglists they want to be on without breaking tools. Also temporary pinglists could be a good idea so people can join the spectators pinglist for a raffle but the creator can then delete that list or set a time for it to be deleted automatically. [/quote] hard seconding this. disabling notifications for mass pings makes it so people can skirt the issue if they want while not breaking any existing lists.

support, i was wondering how this would effect gasp and its sad that it looks like it'd kill it entirely :[

I wonder if some sort of 'nested pings' feature would also help with the GASP-type pings? Because as of now, if we made a pinglist for say, Bogsneaks, Pastel skins, and galaxy themed skins... that's three pings you would get for 1 skin. That's a lot of notifications. Perhaps some sort of code that goes like [code][pinglist=14,34,233][/code] would ping those three pinglists, but remove the duplicates? Idunno if it's possible to implement that, but it would revive some GASP functionality I think?

Huge support. I understand the point the devs make about security, but killing off effective means of pinging that have existed for years now is not the way to go without first fleshing out the new system to accommodate what people are used to.

Support: mass pings are an essential part of community building on FR and while they have their flaws and drawbacks, losing them entirely would be a huge blow.

[/quote] don't support (unless edited...) because i feel like it doesnt address the issue how does this address the issue of people that want to be mass pinged for certain things, but are being harrassed offline and added to pinglists they dont want to be on? i assumed this was what staff was attempting to address [/quote] Considering that community-run mass pinglists are usually soft divided by sub-forum (e.g. Skins & Accents for GASP, FRD for Dom Watch, etc) it might help to toggle disabling mass-ping on a per sub-forum basis.

Support. This is not only going to get messy for multiple people running these pinglists, but the people subscribed to them as well.
