Chatting in BGA Groups

Post by ojomojojojojo »

Hello,

Is there a way to privatize the chat within BGA groups a bit more. If I post to a private group page, it defeats the purpose a bit if literally everyone on BGA can see the post. People can even comment on the "private group" post even if they are not in the group. That's not very private at all. Also I think access to things like this can eliminate the necessity to take your group outside of BGA and onto discord, whatsapp, or other group platforms. Making actual private group setting will definitely make BGA more all access so you don't need secondary applications. I hope admin will look further into that.

The issues with the group wall messages aside.

It is probably better if groups do communicate off-site so that they may police themselves. The chat and message penalties on BGA are by and large quite harsh.

Not sure what you mean about penalties for chat and message. Unless you mean if you use words which it thinks are swear words ?

There are some bug reports about lack of privacy with private groups. Eg https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=5791
Feel free to add your vote to it if you want it fixed.
