        <body>I love the group mail feature. Half of the group mail I get isnt even from people I share groups with. They just spam their throwdowns or blogs thru the most popular groups they belong to that has the most members, but the group mail has NOTHING to do with the group it originated from. At least with group mail, this crap stays out of my fanbox.</body>

        <body>I have two quick suggestions:

1. Don't allow people to vote until each side has two arguments.  This would be great, especially on list first TDs.

2. If someone gets a lot complaints, maybe their voting privileges could be suspended.</body>

        <body>Haha, if you guys don't replace the mods here, your changes will bring nothing. The way this site is run, that's what drives people from it.</body>

        <body>Bryan - Thanks for your quick response.

I didn't contact you personally.  About 5 months ago a &amp;quot;moderator&amp;quot; put out a blog on the &amp;quot;FanNation Support&amp;quot; group about the new &amp;quot;groupmail.&amp;quot;  It seemed everyone was having problems with it.  I sent a FM to the address he/she left in the blog, but that was the last time anyone heard about it.  I also left message in the locker room and it seemed no one else had heard anything. I just gave up.

More blogs like this one will go a long way to restoring some faith in the SI staff. I believe the members just want to know that someone is listening and they will get a response when the have a problem. It may not be a problem that can be fixed right away, but the members just don't like being ignored.</body>

        <body>smoothsandy,

Have you tried contacting me directly through FanMail? I apologize if you have (or if you've changed your user name), but I don't recall hearing from you.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Hi everybody,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#39;t reveal too much since we&amp;#39;re currently hashing out the eleventh-hour details, but we&amp;#39;ve got some &lt;em&gt;major &lt;/em&gt;changes in store for FanNation, as &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/post/204174&quot;&gt;my initial post&lt;/a&gt; from June indicated (the same one referenced by Dookie in &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/post/243095&quot;&gt;his dispatch&lt;/a&gt; from this morning). I&amp;#39;m talking a &lt;strong&gt;Danny Ainge&lt;/strong&gt;-type overhaul. And it&amp;#39;s been &lt;em&gt;your &lt;/em&gt;feedback and suggestions from the past couple months which have helped shape this project from jump street.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;ll be announcing the&lt;strong&gt; official launch date&lt;/strong&gt; with more concrete information in this space over the next week, so keep your eyes peeled. I&amp;#39;ve been testing the revamped site this week and -- while I&amp;#39;ll wait until the next post to divulge the most attractive elements and features -- I can guarantee it&amp;#39;s a product worthy of this ever-passionate community. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As always, email me with questions and comments -- and enjoy the opening weekend of the NFL season! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best,&lt;br /&gt;Bryan &lt;/p&gt;</body>
