So, I don’t know about you guys. But I help out at the Viruses and Worms section. I have for a while and I find the following very annoying to do.

Everytime someoen posts logs, I notify either the current online remover to respond, or if no one is online I ask them all. That was told to me by (Pondus?) or one of the other removers. That ins’t an issue. However, I find it annoying to have to type all of their names in (Twin, Essex, Argus, jeffce, magna86, g3n-h@ackm@n etc) every single time. Is their a way I can just make a large group (Aka: All the removers) into 1 group where I just click it and send the links that they need to go to

No there isn’t and I don’t believe that there should be as it would become a spammers haven to be able to send PMs to a large group of users. A very long time ago we saw this used in spamming and particularly graphic hard core p o r n images.

There are other ways to enter multiple recipients than as you are doing, for obvious reasons I don’t want to go into much detail on how to do this in a public forum.

I can see that. But can you not limit it to certain groups like MBAM Forums have? (etc: Only Malware Samplers, Mods, Admins can access samples).

Or would that require a complete overhaul?

Can you PM me the way?

It may require different forum software, but even then if it were possible, it would leave the very people trying to resolve problems open to spam.

A bit of lateral thinking would find a workaround to do it.
