What would it take to be able to send a message to all the players in indiana michigan ohio and illinois about an upcoming tournament that im having?
You can message players individually and/or post on course comments but we don't allow mass messages.
maybe a dgla post would reach most of Michigan though
thanks Pete, for not helping them Spam message us
why stop at 3 states, why not all 50?

It would not be spam, in fact I hate spam as much as anyone. And im hoping "them" was not being used in a negative way. The message was going to be intended to inform players about an event that is in the works to help children with life threatening conditions. It was going to have questions asking for opinions on how to get support the right was for the event and to inform players that they can be part of something bigger than just going to local events.Seeing children with conditions like this kills me, I organized the soar for sophia tournament that raised over $10,000 and helped saved a little girls life along side Jeremy Koling and Scott Stokely. The message was intended to spread the word about events like this and to hopefully get more disc golfer on board with if nothing else, giving their opinions. So Doug if you feel as if that would be spam and Matt if you feel as if its a negative thing to reach out to people in the community with things like this, maybe i should contact discers another way. All opinions are welcome. Check out the story of the little girl in which Soar For Sophia was created for... http://www.zzzippy.com/people/my-story-sophia

While I absolutely appreciate and applaud what you are doing there is a specific definition for Spam on the internet : Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Unfortunately it doesn't matter what the message is, the key is the people did not choose to receive the information. I post this purely to help alleviate and potential tension between you and Discgolfscene, there is a reason why sites are so rigid on allowing messages to go out to their entire user base or even subsets of their user base for that matter.
