In Discussion Mineplex Welcome Messages?

So recently a server me and my best friend used to play on all the time recently shut down due to poor funds. I was only able to give him the Mineplex IP and how to play before our server was shut down, and the community chat site was aswell so we’re unable to chat about arrangements and when we’re free to play. Recently he’s been playing a lot, but we are NEVER on at the same time. He was on 4 hours ago and I left about 30 minutes before he joined, and I’m really upset. I want to see him again. I then thought of an idea, (I’m not sure if we can do it or not xd) what if when we joined we could have “Welcome Messages” in the chat? Like type in a command so when that person is online they receive a chat notification! I could say, “Hey! This is Kobayashu.” Then some info about life and time arrangements. That way we can communicate without both being online! I’ll just further explain it just in case

1. Type in the command, who to send it to, and then the message
2. You can be offline, and when that specific person comes online it’s sent to them!

just an suggestion, I’m not sure if others thought of this or if it’s a bad idea. I didn’t mean to make this for my personal reasons, I talked to my friends about it and they said they had been there.

 

Hey!

As @DanTrains222 said, next time put these ideas in the general ideas section. There they will get more traction there! I'm sure a moderator will move this, so I'll give my opinions on this.

First off, I think having a mailbox on Mineplex is not a bad idea. It seems pretty easy to implement and could be useful for people who don't use discord to chat. I personally don't think I would use this, although I could definitely see other people using it. Overall, I would not mind seeing this implemented and it doesn't seem that hard to implement.

Yo!

I don't really see a point of this added. If you guys were that close of friends, then I'm sure you would have them added on discord or maybe their phone number. But I assume how this works is it's basically like a private messaging system but it takes longer to get responses (that's what I'm seeing). It shouldn't take more than 2 days to "schedule" with a friend when to get on. Like I said, you guys should have discord or some sort of texting application that you can easily talk to through there. Doing it like the way you said would just take too long to communicate with the player. Besides that, there will need to be some changes to this addition. I think you should only be allowed to send 3 messages a day which will prevent spam messages when you log on and a player can only get 3 messages a day. This will prevent the player from getting spammed from someone's alt account(s) and their main. Also, there should be a command that allows you to check your new messages and they should expire (go away) in 24 hours. So if you forget what the message was, you can still see it!

Overall, I don't mind if this gets added but I don't see a reason why it should. Thanks for the idea though!

 

Okay, very sorry but I can’t to figure out this reply and thread system so I hope works. Someone gave better title, which is “Mailbox” . Yes, I agree it could come dangerous to bots and spam, so we should able to send max of 3 messages a day. I do not know if Mods or other ranks should able to read these before sending, because might have some private information. (I do not think it should be private information for obvious reasons) I do not use discord, and the only available resort was Mineplex which I had shown before our server was shut down along with the community site. So once again, (input command) then you write who it is to then message. I believe that when they go back online one day the chat shows the mailbox messages, and they can send one back if they’d like or just read it. We always get on at different times because of time difference, he lives in Portugal so when I get on at 3 pm or 4 it's 12 PM or 1 for him. The receiver can maybe perhaps block the sender if it is unpleasant person or junk. I would not mind if this was not added, it was just tiny suggestion for those in need. If you have question please ask I will not hesitate to answer it. I am sorry that we could not get any further contact then Minecraft but I am not big fan on social media and other stuffs.

 

Thanks for all guy's attention and support! It means lots, and I understand if this Mailbox feature is not added. It's a simple thing that can be easily added but there could be a few downsides if you think about it. I'm not going to name any because there's easy solutions though, such as being able to block or report a player/bot from any more junk or bullying. That's really all though, thanks again for understanding :)

i am also sorry x2 that the only contact we have available is Mineplex, if this feature is added though we can resolve that problem by getting emails or discord or SOmEtHiNg though mailbox.

But yeah! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ -Kobayashuuuu

 

im looking through this now and just wanna say sorry for how stupid i was

so first off in one of my replies i pretended i didnt speak english well because i was embarrassed and saw people with actual ranks and stuff so i just tried to make an excuse and failed

second, i literally had no idea how the forums worked so sorry for not submitting the suggestion to the "general ideas", i was sort of new to the mineplex community

knowing that i was clueless on how mineplex worked, i didnt even check the forums to see if the idea was submitted or not. So for me taking time out of someone's day just so they can tell me that the idea was denied already, SORRY-

But thankfully, we met up again! we exchanged our discords and didnt lose contact. Then I didnt really think about the cons of junk mail, bots, etc, so apologies for that.

also @ItsFree , I hadn't installed discord and we didnt really think about our main server shutting down at all so there was not point in exchanging numbers, emails, etc. So sorry again for being a nuisance, i guess-

 

We can no longer deny ideas due to them violating the EULA.

 

Interesting idea overall. I definitely agree this could be a good idea, but only if it were between friends and there’s a cool down for the amount of messages one can send in a certain time period. This would prevent spam. Other than that, though, I think this would be really useful. At times I make friends and I don’t see them online for quite some time, so leaving a message for them to log on to would be really useful to have. +1 overall, as long as it’s for friends only I don’t have an issue with this!

 

Hey, this is a really interesting idea although the only issue I have is that I can't see people being happy with their chat being flooded upon login. I wouldn't mind either way though, a way to mail people can be quite handy if they logged off before you got the chance to speak to them. Thanks for the idea :)
