Could we possibly get a way to PM ourselves from our server scripts?
I want to make a GUI script builder, but with a changing API and my habit of staying offline for long periods of time I need a way for my place to report new errors to me. |

I think a game type of data persistance would work better.
but we should also be able to PM people in-game |

@SN0X
If you could only PM yourself, would you tend towards spamming yourself? |

This would be better if you're able to send notifications or messages from the game to the player, but would have a limit to stop spamming.

while true do game:GetService("MessageService"):SendMessage(1449757,"Hey zars!") wait(1) end
Yeah, pretty much. |

This would probably only be accessible in server-side scripts if it gets implemented, though. Otherwise you could easily exploit and mass PM the owner.

@Poppin,
You could abuse this in many ways. |

@SN0X
"I'm going to spam myself with PMs!"
while true do game:GetService("LoggingService"):MessageOwner("Trololol") end
Because that makes so much sense... (And there'd be a limit to it as well, so it's not like the script would keep working forever.) |

| That place would be reported, and ROBLOX warns you how often not to share your information? |

While a novel idea it would be much better to have a persistent error log that you could view.
It's not worth it just to add PMing only to yourself just for that one use, when it isn't even a good use, since you're liable to either spam yourself horribly, making it useless, or not spam yourself enough, leaving out information that you need, never hitting the sweet spot inbetween. |

Fien:
Revised request: - A web console (with scripting) per server where each console reports output live from the server - Each console appends itself to a global log - Options on the site that allow a place owner to be PM'd when a specific message appears in the global log |

"not spam yourself enough"
I imagine that phrase is not used often. |

Usage examples: "User %s used license key %s." "User %s was kicked for spamming chat with message \"%s\"." "Unexpected error from script %s." "Banned use %s attempted to join."

| What I think would be more practical and usefull would be the ability to save Data persistance to a player even if there not in the game. |

| I only want the data persistance API to allow you to save stuff to a place or account (for people with multi-level RPGs). I would use it to see who had been to my place and then tie that in to an awesome animated console ;3 |
