--- Comment #1 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #0) > As a substitute of a bot, MassMessage inherits a subscription model based on > entries listed in wiki pages. This is a very fragile process, open to abuse > and user mistakes. Open to abuse how? Wiki pages provide full accountability and transparency, unlike user preferences. That said, catching/preventing user mistakes (or more directly: simplifying the subscription process) is the actual underlying bug here, I think. > A first step wold be very basic: subscribe to all notifications / unsubscribe > from all notifications. I can't imagine any use-case for this. As far as I'm concerned, this is a non-starter. > A possible next step would be to allow subscriptions per "channels" or > "newsletters". We already have this, it's just implemented via wiki pages instead of via user preferences. Perhaps something like [[mw:Extension:LogEntry]] or [[mw:Extension:InputBox]] could be adapted to make subscribing easier. Maybe. Unsubscribing would be tricky, though. A small JavaScript gadget could easily be written to make adding and removing users from a list easier, but that wouldn't solve the possible use-case of wanting to see (as a subscriber) every newsletter to which you are subscribed. I don't think this is a MassMessage bug. Perhaps an Echo bug. Perhaps an "Extensions requests" bug. But this seems likely out of scope for MassMessage. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
