Improve Group Chat

[SqueekyHT]

1. Add Group Messages to the Messages tab so that they're easy to check.
2. Pick someplace with higher visibility to put a notification badge.
3. Add a setting so we can choose if we want to be notified about group activity.
4. Include the User Name when a group mod/owner starts a new conversation.

I totally support this suggestion.
I really lack the possibility to reach all group members either through the chat or by notifications for new posts.
It definitely would make group events much easier and motivate, at least me, group admin to arrange more events.

Yes! This. I agree. I made a group thinking the chat would make it easier to reach all members, but they don,t get notified and don't see it unless they check it.

I know group messages used to notify/open message boxes during real time games. I’m assuming this feature was turned off to prevent cheating but if direct messages still work during real time games, you can still cheat anyway. I wish we could revert back so group messages work during real time games again. If you’re playing with friends vs a random, it’s better to speak about irrelevant topics in a group chat vs spamming the regular game chat and potentially being blocked.

If these changes can’t be reverted, at least leave the group chat window open so that after the real time game is over you can see the messages just like how direct messages are if you miss them while clicking real time or turn based games

Is my suggestion
