Forum:Petition to create a private message extension for wikis

Hey, I started a petition for people interested in seeing the development of a private message system for wikis. I'm not sure how much desire there is for something like that here, but if anyone is interested they can put their name down on the petition. The more people who sign it, hopefully will make it more likely to be made.


 * The petition

Having a private message extension would be beneficial over email since it would be able to be tracked, and would be able to allow sysops to track things such as bad-faith collaboration.

 * Don't know if it's useful for bad-faith-collaboration-tracking. If I was plotting to deploy some vandalism to the wiki, I wouldn't use private messages to coordinate our efforts. Because they can be tracked. :) BTW, we have private messages on http://community.falloutwiki.com. veryblackraven 09:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I wasn't thinking it would be good against vandalism necessarily, but good against users who might collaborate and make it look like they all agree with each other on their own. Again, it might not be a major problem on this particular wiki, but anyone who's interested can sign the petition.  It's also possible that people might not be registered on the forum.  I also think that we should just stick to this forum, which would be convenient and make it more active.  That's just me though.
