PM your whole clan at one touch of a button

Concise description:- A button in the groups section of inboxes that will allow you to message all your clan members at once
Specifics/Details:- Moderators already have all these buttons at their fingertips being able to PM all the chatters or the CC Newsletter subscribers for example so why not make this available for clan leaders so that they can send out PMs quickly and efficiently to all members.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:- Saves time for clan leaders rather than having to type in all the members of their clan when sending out a PM about war games for example, they can just press a send to all members

It's a good idea but it doesn't exist already for every group. I can't PM the chatters, only certain groups have this privilege now.
I can see the allure of being able to PM your clan though.

Hmmm.. apparently it is the only entertainment team (and admin) that can send out PMs to all the various mod groups. Regardless I still think this is a good suggestion and would be easy to introduce in practice. I guess it might be linked with the age old debate about giving usergroup leaders moderator powers though - perhaps if it was just applied to clans this would be a healthy compromise?

Why limit it to clans? Why not just make a group button so that you can create your own group so if part of your clan is in TLO for example, you could create a group that has those members of the clan but not the others so the messages don't clutter their inboxes?
The problem with this is that people are already spammed invites to tournys and games as it is, this might just help the spammers.

Well by removing the limitations that I suggested, I don't think this will help spammers in any way. Limiting this to clan leaders alone to message their clans would not in my opinion create any form of spamming problem.

Expanding group private messaging is something I am looking into.

I'm not a clan guy, but this seems like a handy idea to me.

Stop being lazy and put a PM list in your clan forum. Takes 2 seconds to copy and past from there.
