Add Bcc button

Post by scottp »

In the compose PM screen, there needs to be an "Add BCC" or just "BCC" button next to one's friends, aside the one there that says "Add"


Concise description:
  • I think this is pretty self explanatory, but sometimes you want to ask a question, but don't need every reply to go to everyone. because of the way "Reply" works, you need to Bcc folks so replies don't go to all.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • less spam

That's because there already is a button.

Right, right below the "Add" Button is a "Add [BCC]" Button.

I think scott is referring to the friends list.

The add button on the friends list would be better replaced by bcc. I'm guessing most players invite people on their friends list to tournaments etc. - for this they would prefer bcc to avoid the annoying accidental spam caused by replies going to everyone.

Another 'spam'-reducing idea may be to have 'Reply to All' and 'Reply to Sender' options.
