I think a /mail command would be a good thing to add to the server, so then you could essentially message people if they're not online- and when they do come back on, a message would pop up saying something along the lines of " You have mail! Type /mail to check it ! " or something- I personally think it would be really useful!

When I was new to the server I used to keep thinking this command was already on pz

Thus I would love to see this implemented so it's a +1 from me

It's a good way to talk to people if you don't have Discord. A lot of players don't have Discord and I want to say something to them but they aren't online.
 
I believe this should get implemented, as many people don't have discord etc. and it's hard to communicate with someone who isn't online at the same time without this.

This has been suggested in the past, but I do love the idea!
 
This sounds like a nice idea to contact friends who come online when your offline, or vice versa. It'd be nice to see this be implemented, +1
 
I think this would be ideal for the server. Many players have friends added to their plots on creative and if one were offline, the other can mail them "Hey I added a new build to your plot" or something along those lines. It can also be beneficial to players who have friends that are offline often but want to rekindle with each other.

The only downside to this could be a potential abuse of the command, such as spamming a player with lots of messages. I believe there should be either a limit on how much mail can be sent per day or a /mail clear command which easily removes all mail without a hassle.

Nonetheless, I think this is a great suggestion and should be reimplemented. +1

I think there should be a way to disable it, especially for YouTubers. Some YouTubers might not want to join the server and see "You have mail! Type /mail to check it!" and then they do /mail and like 293847829343453454566678293 messages pop up

Good suggestion, maybe /mail toggle or something like that!

I think this is a great idea. /mail is on many servers, and it's very useful for contacting players who are currently offline.

I think /mail toggle is a great idea for disabling mail from everyone, but I think there should also be something like /mail block so that players can block mail from a specific player(s) instead of having to disable mail from everyone. That way, if somebody is using /mail to annoy someone but isn't actually breaking the rules of the server, the player could use /mail block to stop receiving mail from that specific player.

Lemme know what you guys think.
 
Das a good idea. If someone you don't wanna talk to be sendin' ya mail "haha nope /mail blocc"
 
I love this idea, it sounds well thought out, and has many methods to avoid spam and avoid potential abuse from players you do not wish to message you, though you still want to be messaged.
I do love the idea of mail block, as well, to give you feedback.

I don’t see any real issues with this being implemented, +1.

I have a few concerns about this idea.

For starters, if this were to be implemented, the whole system should be set to a toggle- as stated prior- between <On|Club+friends|Club|Friends|Off>
These settings are fairly self explanatory- depending on what it says, you will be able to control who sends you mail- if anyone.

Furthermore, the ability to block specific people would be a good idea- wouldn't it be better however if it were combined with the functionality of /ignore?

With all that said, timestamps should also be placed on every piece of mail, along with a reference time, incase server time is different from the user's.

If all of this is implemented, my concerns for the most part are eased.
My main concerns are:

That some mailboxes will just get outright flooded, the timestamp will allow users to report spam effectively. Because sending an update message every few days while a user is gone for a week shouldn't be reportable as spam- but could end up being three or so messages in a row to users who have no one else mailing them, and no timestamp to work off of. Having your inbox filled with the same message a few hundred times (exaggerated), or having a lot of nonsense messages in a short amount of time should count.

That the mailboxes of people of interest (Owner, admins, devs, staff, etc) would get flooded- but the toggle settings listed would more than fix the issue.

And well, Adding the block/ignore feature would help users in general.

The idea itself isn't that bad, but there is a lot of scenarios where it could be used bad. Hopefully these additional suggestions will make it so it can be a better user experience for all.

/ignore doesn't even work, does it?

It should- if it doesn’t, I’d suggest making a bug report.

Yeah it really doesnt. I'm pretty sure you want to block someone when you type /ignore , not see their messages.


+1 for this suggestion I love /mail tbh
 
I don't think it would be a good idea, because the plugin is usually really glitchy!

The devs could always make their own plugin

But if this is accepted, it won't be implemented for a long time. There's more important things that they have to deal with.
