Hey guys, I posted this idea a few days ago, and also place it on the vote system for anyone who would to see it implemented could vote for it, I think it'll benefit us all specially those who belong to several groups; the vote link is:

And the idea is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a suggestion for the "Groups" options and group messaging.
Some people belong to more than 1 group, or belong to several, some more active than others.
When the group officials decide to host an event they send a global IM to all group members which they receive, however, sometimes not all will be able to assist due being on another situation or another group they belong event.

Suggestion as follows:

When a character has a group set as "Active" he can receive IM's from that group only, any other group IM's should be saved just like any other IM received when a player is offline.
When the player deactivates his current group to "None", he no longer receives any group IM's until he activates one group from his list again.

Another option would be to set this on the preferences menu, but I believe the previous suggestion is more easy to carry out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you guys like it and vote for it.
:)

this would be a great idea ...if it could be done right ...I know in another game I play we have global chat .which you can see chat from a long distance...we have chat local...we have a party chat (people you have chosen for that moment to see what is in your chat) and a clan chat.....the party chat would be a great option in sl....like if im building for two people I could keep them in a party chat and they could go about their business and if I have questions I could ask both at once..believe me this would save me time ....as it is now its a three ring circus lol....I love the groups Im in..but sometimes the group spamming can be annoying when in the middle of a conversation lines of chat spills out...chat options would be great ...we do need some kind of control over them...as in my other game you can go in and shut down any of the chats at your will...humm I like this idea ty for bringing it up

If you like the current idea, vote for it on the vote system :) the more votes it has the bigger the chance it'll be carried out.
