I laughed very hard when I saw it. I thought it was very funny!

I can deal with system spams in mails and all that (I get 40+ messages in 10 hours just from trade). I can do with the alliance forums that are no good. I can do with any inconvenience that has a workaround.
But what I really find lacking is the ability to send mails to multiple players and "reply all" ..to create a mail thread for discussions.
I thought the <de-snuggled> chat was funny. The ban was only for 2 minutes - it was not like any player could spam more than one post in two minutes! And the UI V3 blog post gave me a shock! It was one day where GM Luna looked all-so-serious!

I admit, I thought it was funny. It was the ONE TIME I have ever been banned, and like the ONLY time I will be banned. Granted, it'd have been better if folks limited themselves to ONE banning-per-person, but, well... yesh, it's one day out of the year.

I didn't mind the April 1st *snuggle* joke thing - I thought it was kinda amusing, even tried it myself one time. (Actually I thought it was pretty much the ONLY time I've ever seen the word *snuggle* on GC in an amusing context.)
And to be honest I have GC turned off most of the time these days anyways - we already know that better chat systems are coming and SC/TC have already been the first to admit that GC just gets a bit too clogged up now Illy has grown. Frankly I don't think the joke really caused any problem that wasn't already there.
And regarding the main points from your post LL - you have my total 100% support.
The in-game mail system - when I click on the link I always just click on the 'player' tab immediately afterwards - the only other tab I ever use is the 'military' one to check combat reports, and obviously I don't get new combat reports every day (since I no longer bother farming NPCs). All the other mail I get, sometimes hundreds of messages a day, go by totally ignored. I don't ever remember a time when my inbox did not have a green 99+ and a blue 99+ above it.
I have never ever needed to look at or use the notifications panel. I'd rather it wasn't there and I had more room for the chat panels.
And yes, making forwarding work and multiple recipient IGMs (that aren't to the entire alliance) would be greatly appreciated improvements for a relatively small amount of dev work.

I generally pop my chat windows out and stretch them out to cover it up. The notification panel is pretty much a waste of space when compounded with the notification AND mail that you get for most events. Seriously information overload.
 I totally agree with all points in that line of thought.
I find the different mail tabs useful for mass-deleting trade, quest, etc. and leaving just player mails.
I do wish that when you sent a mail you went back to you rinbox rather than sent mail. That just seems a bit... weird. All in all, I generally loathe the mail system on every single level, from having to click on a person's name in a pop-up even when you've typed it correctly to not being able to clear out your own sent mail of junk.

I admit I tried the April 1st joke once and laughed ... but did assume it would be for 1hr which it should have been to avoid the continuous repeaters. As for mail there are numerous things that could be done better as mentioned. My wish is that I could just turn off some of the auto-generated emails to reduce the volume. I guess I should just takes Createure's approach.

Thank you Luna for the apology. I will remove that part of the post since it doesn't belong here and people can post their thoughts on the mail system.
