It's not available to anyone and won't be as it would be easily abused.

Good call.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

I think this should be selectively implemented...
I think it's a great idea.

be more specific aloaf

look, say I want to send Captain_Jack and Senor_Doobie a little love letter letting them know that I'll be in New York in a couple weeks and want to get together for the annual grab-ass festival at Doob's house...
I've got to hand craft an email, copy it, send it, copy it and send it again.
I think it would be nice to implement a comma seperated list of recipient names.
It would make things a lot easier, especially for someone like effed, who is trying to organize a large scale gathering with many members.
this could be a hidden feature that can be granularly toggled on and off on a user by user basis.
as for selective implementation...I'm simply suggesting some sort of application process...
to get access to this feature, you have to sweet talk 3D or the other admins.
at the first report of abuse or spam, yank the privilege and bitchslap the offender.
ya heard?!

look, how many people pm you?
how much 'spam' do you get now?
do you think that all of a sudden, if 100 people on this board are given the ability to do this, that your inbox is going to overflow with PM's?
not likely, that's just ridiculous.
there's not even a user list for people to refer to anymore to generate a spam list.
plus, you can put a 10 recipient limit on it or something.
I think it's a great feature if implemented properly.

i have no idea. i don't keep count.

none, and i hope 3d keeps it that way.

no, but there would be some people who would register on the site for the sole purpose of spamming the members.

i agree with you, but that is easy to say, hard to do. especially when we are not the ones that would have to do all the hard work to make it work properly.

no one has addressed his idea yet for a selective "membership" for the ability to do this.
what would be wrong with taking the old cheers access list and turning that into a list for this priviledge?

...thus negating the 'people would register just to spam' argument.
