[Discussion] Expanding the mailboxes of Senators.

[The Duchess of Zeon]

You know, since one of our jobs is to get PMed by people and respond to their PMs, and address their concerns in the Senate, well, now with the resurgent upsurge in commentary I actually find my mailbox very close to overfilling (84%) with just a couple of days of aggressive PM exchanges, a week at most.

Is there any way to expand mailbox capacity just for Senators so that we can deal with the unusually high volume of PMs that our stated job role means that we're probably encounter in the future as the board's population becomes more involved like this?

I got maybe 5 PMs total over the past few days. Nobody likes me

Have a very nice day.

While my initial reaction is "Oh dear god please yes", that's largely because I'm a horrible packrat.

I'd say as a perk, if possible, give senators a small boost to our capacity. If not, well, if we get the House of Commons going, we won't really need it anymore, with any luck.

Real quick:


This thread needs to go on hiatus until after we resolve the 10 other open issues. I agree we should maybe talk about this but there is enough stuff on our plate right now and it'd be best for us to focus down a little.

Odd. The only PMs I ever get are reminders to vote from our friendly Whip.

I got about 5 PM's this time around. I think perhaps the Duchess got more because of the nature of some of the disputes, as she is the one transsexual senator we're aware of.

My box filled up, but then I'm a packrat and it's my fault. If this becomes a problem with all senators then yes, let's revisit the issue.

Ace Pace has shown me how to inflate the sizes of our inboxes without inflating our egos.

Okay, that last part was all me, but here we go:

http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=options

Use that to make additional folders for various things, and dump your PMs there to keep your inbox full. It appears you can make an effectively unlimited number, thus resolving the issue.

Thanks again Ace.
