Title: Sending a message to a lot of users
Post by: eduinvestor on November 22, 2017, 11:00:01 PM
Hello,

How can I send a message to a lot of users at a time? Let's say 100 users for example
I need it to contact our Bounty participants

It can be marked as spam and you can easily lose your account because of this.

And you should know that members like you are only allowed to send max 5 private messages every six minutes, so be careful about sending more than that amount, or 100 a day, because you can get your account redtagged.
Try to send 30 in an hour, wait two more, and send the another 30, wait a few hours and then send the rest.

Maybe this can help you to avoid all the hassle that you are going to pass through if you want to send them individualy.

You can't send messages to that many people. It's capped at about 15 or so (can't remember the exact limit). You'll just have to try send them in the maximum allowed batches whether manually or with some bot, but as above, if people report your PM as spam you could face repercussions of a temp/permaban because of it. It might be best emailing them if you have their addresses or look at other ways of contacting them (did they sign up via an external site etc?). You could also maybe just update your bounty thread or title with the message/note alerting them to whatever it is you want them to be made aware of.

You ask them to provide an email address, and you operate an opt-in mailing programme. You shouldn't expect a forum to provide this service. doing this in the professional way lets you support users on more than one forum as well.

Impossible to do it through this Bitcoin messaging forum. That would be considered SPAM asap. Like the user above me said, email communication would be the best way. Or, just make a doc/excel doc with the information you'r trying to communicate and post it to your thread.
