Proposal:
Use the same interface for deleting players from a message thread as for adding them.
Have you checked the forums for the same or similar idea
Yes: I can only see my own. (PS: cutting and pasting a format is really, really laborious on mobile... )
Reason:
Thread maintenance in the message center is very laborious on the mobile app. It's particularly tedious when removing multiple players from a thread ; every time you delete one person, the thread instantly updates and scrolls all the way up to the top again. If it's a thread containing a large number of players (e.g. our Castel del Monte club, comprising people in the guild with a CdM), then it rapidly becomes very frustrating, especially when the people to be removed happen to be near the end of the alphabet and the entire thread has to be reviewed multiple times. It would make life much easier if removing players used the same interface as adding players, i.e. a check-box which takes effect when you select 'Save changes'. It's easy to add two or three players to every thread in the guild; it's a real pain to remove the people they are replacing.
Details:
Instead of deleting a player immediately and scrolling the thread back to the top of the screen, the system should provide check-boxes to select the player to be deleted and an action button to perform the deletion when the selection is complete.
Visual Aids:
None, sorry. Any mock-ups gratefully received !
Balance/Abuse Prevention:
I don't see any game balance implications, as this is simply about messaging groups of players. The main disadvantage is that it means it will take an additional keypress to delete a single player from a thread. However, it is already a two-stage action to add a single player to an existing thread - which hasn't raised any complaints - and it would simply be making the interface consistent.
