I am requesting mass message sender permissions as I would find it useful to collect feedback for my tool, RedWarn. Currently, RedWarn has over 50 users who are using the beta. Having mass message sender permissions would allow me to send out update notices, surveys and collect general feedback from users regarding my counter-vandalism tool. Using a script to send out these messages was feasible back when RedWarn only had a few users, however, as the number of users has gotten higher and higher, this has become unfeasible, so mass message sending would be much appreciated, with the additional benefit of users being able to opt-out if they wish. Thank you for your consideration and time :) Ed6767 talk! 18:58, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed6767, the first step would be to request mass mailing from Wikipedia talk:Mass message senders#MassMessage Delivery Requests. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 19:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTAIN MEDUSA Thanks, will do once ready. I will be doing so fairly frequently, so that's why I requested the user right. Ed6767 talk! 19:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure to follow Wikipedia:Mass message senders#Requesting a mailing. If you need help, I can assist you. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 19:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you have sent a Mass message using a script. That beats the whole purpose of this user group. There was a similar thing in June 2019 [see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:DannyS712/MMS]. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 12:39, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done We generally require users to gain experience and demonstrate competency requesting mailings via the MMS function prior than allowing them to use it independently. I will seek clarification on whether circumventing the MMS process using a script is permissable by the community, and I would ask you not to do so again unless such a clarification has been provided. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 22:33, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
