There have always been problems with people typing
/msh or /tel (or just
forgetting them entirely) instead of the proper way
of using /msg and /tell
to send private messages to another monk. Recently, it seems this has increased: perhaps because the chatterbox
is actually being used more often, perhaps because the monks are starting to actually know each other better. Regardless, a "msh slip" can cause, at best, a non-sequitur, and at worst, something really embarassing and
causing bad feelings in our monastery.
I was wondering if a better way could be devised for
sending private messages (or better, an additional way, without removing the current functionality). Perhaps a
second button? Or better yet, a smaller separate box
and/or text entry field below the common one? Other ideas
welcome. Please, no flames about how all it takes is careful typing. Not everyone is perfect enough to never make a sinlge typo. ;)
