[AAR] WHC Unanchoring Strat-op

[Conci Furiram]

I'm confident that a mail like this is rarely, if ever checked.
Perhaps the Uni should build a mail database of more frequently checked mail accounts of its members in order to reach them reliably with news like this.

The GDPR complications are not worth the effort. We have no desire to keep any personal information past what CCP offers from ESI.

[Cedric Redfist]

You are already handling one personal mail, although limited in use.
How much trouble would a second one be?

Alternatively, could you use a Discord bot to send a mail to the account listed for the Discord user? That would not require the uni to get a database on their own. Or even a DM to their Discord?

The benefit is that you could actually reach out to ppl that haven't touched the game in a while, as those wouldn't read forums, or an EUni-specific discord either.
We can expect to do cleanup ops of private structures in the future. Reaching inactive members with a reminder to clear stuff out would be neat.
Using a comm channel normally tied to the uni exclusively would miss the target audience.

Don't consider player structures to be long term storage, problem solved.

Don't consider player structures to be long term storage, problem solved.

Exactly. I always knew it was kind of dangerous to keep so much of my stuff in player controlled structures, which is why I checked in now and then. Of course, checking if it's still there doesn't actually do much to save it, it only reminds you that you should've taken the effort to move it, once it's too late.
Lesson learnt and isn't that the entire point of the Uni?

[Mosrael Kibeth]

I have to say I'm very pleased by Shar's good attitude and his important point that this is yet another learning opportunity. We can all be more careful about what we keep in player owned structures, especially in J-Space, and I'm going to set up forwarding from my Uni email to my real email just to be safe!
