How hard would it be to have a "Ping List" page built where one could go and pick ones they want to be on and be pinged when the moderator of the ping list pings to "*Ping List A" or whatever and then be able to remove themselves from the subscription later if they so choose?
Seems like an easy option to add. Though it could be a lot harder than I imagine.
Thanks for letting me know that it wasn't just me. Now, if someone from "management" could maybe take these suggestions and work out some kind of system, this would be a non-issue.
(Or, if people would be less avid about adding names to their lists)
