Scratch

Don't you hate when you have to send the same comment to multiple people (e.g. for a collab)? Especially when you are blocked by Scratch for posting the same message numerous times, it is hard and difficult to tell everyone in your collab to "Start creating games" or that "Graphics are due Monday." With a Scratch Email System, you can send messages to multiple friends at once!

Another excellent part of SES are the Spam and Report features. You can put certain emails in the spam folder, and any emails from that sender will be automatically put in spam. Also, the report feature "reports" any inappropriate email to the Scratch Team. It's exactly like the report feature in the forums!

So what do you guys think? Any additions to add to the suggestion?

This is a good idea but then it would cost a lot of money, time and work for scratch. Also, people could send multiple people mean, hurtful emails and it would take a lot of time to go through it all. Same thing with spam. People could send spam to tons of projects at a time.

Good idea though.

This is the exact same bloody idea as PMs. It won't happen.

If you post on the forums and tell the rest of your group to also, then it works out well. There is a collab section on the forums that fits well for this kind of stuff smile

Veggie is right, unfortunately. This is essentially a private messaging system, which has been rejected in the past. See #6.

Exactly. Just create a forum topic for it, and tell everyone to look there often for updates. If something's urgent, you can always manually use the comments system.
