34<PRE>I put in this request before, and have recently been bombarded by users
35requesting thjis feature on my network... Many (if not most) other services
36that feature a Memo function also have a Mass memo function.
37
38I have worked around this with IRCServices by creating an mIRC bot that
39performs a
40/nickserv list *
41and then sends a memo to everyone inthe results. Problem is, it sends 2, 3,
424, (even 9 in one case) memos to the same person, because the /ns list *
43lists ALL the nicks, and doesn't seem to indicate duplicate, or linked
44nicks..... so my poor simple script sends copies to all listed nicks,
45resulting in dupes.
46
47Here's the question(s):
48
49Can we reconsider adding a Mass memo function for the next release?
50
51If not, or even if so... one thing puzzles me: In the /ns list * command,
52the listings have occasional punctuation... a ! or ? in front of the nick.
53There is nothing in the docs anywhere that seems to address this, and I'm
54curious as to what those mean.... an explanation would be helpful there too.
55
56Additionally, perhaps we can have some way to glag a nick name as
57&quot;Linked&quot; -- not necessarily the Primary name, but the linked nicks... liek
58another puntuation in the listing that indicates linked names, so I can
59script around it, havign it ignore the marked nicks....
60
61Any ideas you all have to share would be of great help.
62
63And yes, I know at least one person out there is going to suggest Logonnews
64as an alternative, but frankly, this does not meet our needs. The news
65displays too fast, and has scrolled past before the user even hits the
66channels.. I want it as memo, so they can keep them, save them as
67reminders, whatever... new memos are more noticeable than a blanket news ...
68
69on that note, a possible suggestion for Logonnews... How about something I
70saw on Dalnet once: When new news is added, you get a notice. Until you
71read the news, it keeps bugging you when you log on. After you read it, it
72stops. Some sort of flag so users know when there IS new news would be
73useful... the main reason nobody read the logonnews is that 90% of the time
74for them, it is unchanged........
75
76Anyhow, I appreciate your takign the time to read this long request...
77
78I await your replies =)
