All I know is that I wish Nicola would take away the ability to send a PM to all your friends, it feels like I'm getting SPAM.
I was just real blunt. It all depends on how you use the feature. If you use it too much, you just irritate your friends.
I still find it completely unnecessary to send a pm. The story appears on the front page, you can set your status to announce you have a new story, you can also set your forum signature to announce that you have a new story and readers who like you can choose to follow you. I don't see the point of annoying people with PM.
And if there is anyone else that is so tragically upset due to the fact that your PM"s are annoying me, please spare me the pity party of sending me a PM about it, (like I said, they annoy me) and just delete me from your friendslist.
The thing that I find annoying, and Necho can probably relate to this, is friends that pm you up to 4 times about the one story, telling you that they are writing a story, then that they have submitted a story, then that it is published and finally please read and vote.
But I think it will be hard for even gav to launder out those sort of messages. I think the only solution as Kyle has said, and that is to delete them. Hopefully, one day they will understand that pushing their stories onto us, only turns us away.
