The current player messaging system is great but I think it needs a couple updates to really improve it and make better.

These are my ideas, scroll down to see more information about each one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1] View your sent messages
[2] Last Seen time stamp/Message received
[3] Recall messages
[4] Roblox links
[5] Rich text
[6] VIP Inbox
[7] Delete messages
[8] Send messages to more than 1 user
[9] Signatures
[10] Spam Inbox
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[1] View your sent messages:

You should be able to see your sent messages. When you go to the messages page there should be a "Sent" beside the Inbox, Notifications and Archive tab. For most of my ideas the sent messages tab is needed, otherwise it won't work.

----------------

[2] Last Seen time stamp/Message received

This idea corresponds with idea [1]. After you click the Sent tab you will see all your sent messages and beside each one there would be a a small icon of a letter(a letter you would sent in the mail), if the message was opened by the user who you have sent it to it would have an icon of an open letter. Hovering the mouse over this icon will show a time stamp which means it will tell you the exact date and time the message was opened.If the user who received the message but still hasn't opened the letter it would show an icon of a sealed letter.

----------------

[3] Recall messages

This idea corresponds with idea [2]. Recalling a message means to take back a message. So lets say you sent a message to the wrong person accentually. You would have the ability to go and delete that message from his/her inbox but ONLY if the message still hasn't been opened.

Basically if you made a mistake or send something wrong, if the user still hasn't opened the message you can recall the message and it would get deleted from his/her inbox. You would do this by going to your sent messages, open that message and click the Recall button. Again this ONLY works if the message still hasn't been opened. The user won't be notified that he got a message recalled from his inbox.

----------------

[4] Roblox links

If you send a link through messages and it begins with http://http://www.roblox.com/ it would automatically become a hyperlink and the person who receives the message can click on that link and it would lead to that roblox page/gear/group etc...

----------------

[5] Rich text

Having rich text means the ability to send messages using Bold, Underlined and Italic text.

----------------

[6] VIP Inbox

A VIP Inbox is a section in your messages where you would list "Important" people, when ever they message you their message will automatically go into the VIP Inbox, there small messages icon on the navigation bar would look different as well. To access the VIP Inbox there would be a VIP tab beside the Inbox tab. There will be a configuration menu where you can add as many VIP people as you want.

This is very useful for people who get tons of messages from fans and you're waiting to receive a message from somebody. Or if you're in a clan/guide you can put all the High Ranks as VIP.

----------------

[7] Delete messages

Title says it all, you should be able to delete any message, including messages from your Sent section.

----------------

[8] Send messages to more than 1 user

You should be able to send messages to up to 5 users (only 5 so people will not send spam to 1000 users). It will also display when each one of them received the message if you go to the sent tab and click that message.

----------------

[9] Signatures

You should be able to have a signature that gets added at the end of each email automatically when you send it. The maximum amount of characters a signature can have should be around 100 characters. You can change/create your signature in the My Account section.

----------------

[10] Spam Inbox

This is like the VIP Inbox but this is a Spam Inbox, you would list users who always send you spam. When ever they send you something their message automatically goes to the Spam Inbox and not your Inbox. There will also be a Spam tab beside the Sent tab. This way you can access these messages every once in a while.

To unsend messages? That would be pretty hard. Let say the person you accidentlly send a message to is online they read it, and they you unsend it? Maybe not that one, but yes, sounds good.

@Starr123. Well if you read the rest of that part you will see that he said "You would have the ability to go and delete that message from his/her inbox but ONLY if the message still hasn't been opened.".

And plus, t would be pretty hard to "unsensational messages" I think other companies would have already done that if it was that easy. I doubt roblox will do this.

Very nice, very unique. I just worry number 8 might make spamming easier for people.

But still, I support them all.

@Starr
We both said it at the same time. XD

@watevs
I agree, but, I still like the idea.

this is a great idea, but for the multiple users thing there would of course have to be some thing that doesnt let u send the same thing to the same person five times. that would be great for spamming right? .3.

UPDATE:

If you're ever caught spamming using the multiple messaging system you get that feature disabled for a week, if you do it again a month and the third time 3 months.

I think it's fair, if you want to use the feature it's easy. Just don't use it to spam,
