Would it be possible to send a PM to multiple recipients?

I know it isn't currently possible but would it be a difficult thing to implement in the future? I had the idea when I saw a hot deal that I thought a lot of people might want to know about and who might not otherwise see it in Hot Deals. Thanks guys,

I think we'd have mass spammers then unfortunately

 

[Migroo]

Yeah

I get far too much spam from my so called 'friends' (People who send my annoying jokes.) in my Hotmail account.

 

[Azraele]

I vote no on this one as well. I don't want any spam.

 

[oLLie]

Oh good call guys, I didn't think of that

That's ok...

It would be a cool feature...

Maybe you could put a limit on # of people who you could PM in one instance. Like only 2 people, that way you couldn't mass spam.

I don't know

I liked the idea, I just don't like the idea of those no good spammers who always ruin a cool feature!

Not a bad idea, but yeah, it's got the potential for spaminization.

One alternative would be creating an address book of folks and email them the message. I personally wouldn't get too crazy with this, I had a couple people put me on their "alert" lists and I rarely received anything that a) I couldn't find for myself or b) I was interested in.

As a subscriber, you could keep a group of folks on your buddy list, PM one of them and before you send it, copy the text, send the PM, then click on the next guy, and so on, down the line.
