A VERY cool suggestion!

Can the site be changed with an update so users can be re-added to PM's if they accidentally remove themselves?

The notifications look was edited with the update so why not a useful, practical and functional change instead of a simple aesthetic?

Not only would this save hassle, but it makes little sense to not have this rule in place. Accidental removal is actually common here.

I've been in a few different PM's in the last few months and people always accidentally lock themselves out. Its a pain to readd 40+ users.

Either that or an "are you sure?" feature.

Indeed. I've locked myself out of a few too and it's both hassling and time-consuming to re-structure large PM's.

Either could work. Or even both.

There is also more support for this feature here.

It would be greatly beneficial.

I'd be 100% behind this.

I fully support this

Definitely. This seems like a very logical option.

@rorie

Yes

I'm tired of being locked out of PM's.

I think this is a better option, and if anyone wants to check out the link Frozen posted to the other thread, one of the engineers has mentioned adding this feature already. I think the problem with being re-added, useful as that could be (saying this now as someone who almost lost their most important and favourite PM TWICE), is that it could be complicated when it comes to not wanting to be in a conversation for whatever reason. If someone is trash talking or harassing you, or even if you've just been added to a dumb message you want nothing to do with, the ability to re-add could mean people could re-add you whether you want them to or not. I don't know whether it would be possible to tweak such a thing so you can re-add yourself but other people can't? That might be cool.

So yeah, long story short, I think an "are you sure?" pop up is the way to go if we can :)

@bumpyboo: Huh, I hadn't thought of that. Nice catch bumpster :P

@bumpyboo: @i_like_swords: I agree, but what about this suggestion?

In addition to having a pop up message of ''are you sure?'' when booting out of a PM; instead in regards to re-adding, whenever someone is re-added, the person getting re-added could get the option of ''are you sure you want to be re-added into this PM?'' with the option of yes or no, if no is selected (even if only once), then they cannot be re-added at all.

@i_like_swords: ^_^

I like this idea. Not sure how it would play out from a tech perspective but sure, that sounds like a good solution :)

Seconded.

I can see if we can do this - I think originally the idea was to not allow this due to people forcing others back into PMs that they intentionally removed themselves from, but it should (hopefully) be easy enough to reverse. It'd be unlikely to get done before the holidays, unfortunately.

@rorie: How bout it be something you can turn on and off under the notification settings in the profile settings?

@_animus_: the more complex you make something the more likely it is to break and quite frankly the more complex it is the less important it is to implement because they don't have time for it.

@pikahyper: Just throwin out suggestions , didn't think it'd be made anyway :P.

@rorie: So could this happen?

Finally some headway on this cool user suggestion.

There is a ticket in for this; hopefully it will be done in the next few weeks.
