    Was just updating my Profile, and noticed this.

    I read a thread from about last July, but nothing seems to have come of it.

    Any news?

    I know Regi was the one playing with it and he's been kept busy with the performance issues these last few months so I assume it's on the back-burner...

    What's the idea? It would be handy to get a text when a post is reported or something like that. If I'm at my computer, I'm generally on boards, so the email is wasted on me!

    I noticed it when I signed up first, so perhaps that's not what it was for. It would still be usefull anyway.

    *thinks about all thinks about the deluge of text messages that would go on, non-stop, all day*

    People might think I was popular! :)

    Wow, 5,000 posts. You must be popular!

    OT: I'd say it wouldn't increase my influx of text messages too much, but with others it might be an issue. Perhaps a clicky to turn it on/off?

    Still strikes me as a bit crazy though. Though, imagine the hilarity of reporting every post on a forum at 4am on a forum of a mod you don't like.... :p

    Think of your phone bill..... Assuming you had to pay for each message recieved (which would be the only way I could see it working).

    Look, folks, you're mods, not the Supreme Masters of the Galaxy! I really don't get why people would want this "service".

    Its to accomodate my passion for ringing people and then breathing nice and heavily while punching a bowl of mayonaise beside the phone.

    How do you know we're not supreme masters of the galaxy? We might be. I'll just go and ask the mice what they think.
