Hi all Im thinking of starting a WhatsApp group for the purple world.. Not sure if this is a good idea or not.?maybe privacy issues?

Maybe just elucidate a bit more as to whom it's directed to, eg. WG's and/or punters? What type information the group could convey for the benefit of it's members, etc.

for both punters and wgs..wgs can just post on the group if they running specials and so on I don't think wgs would really mind being part of the group... Could be a privacy issue for punters I would think..

A fun idea Nawwetyguy, although I do think there might be a privacy concern for both SP's and Punters.
I say create it, and those that do want to join can join.

Great idea

I think it can be good...

I'd be interested

Can work but just make sure that you are ok with privacy issues !!!

Thank you all for the feedback just going to give it some thought and will keep you guys updated.

Just saw this and in my opinion be very careful with a group. Yes, it can be an amazing tool, but can also be a bad thing.

1) We all know how annoying WA groups are. They might be muted, but there is nothing more annoying than looking at your phone and there are 500+ messages that is unread
2) Somewhere, somehow it will backfire. There will always be one village idiot that joins on his normal phone and then wifey gets hold of said phone. I need not explain that one further
3) "Whatever you say can and will be held against you in a court of law". If you press send, your text is out there for the whole world. Yes you can delete, but smartphones have this awesome feature called "screengrab"
4) Drunk texting. We have all been there, and let us use the forum as a benchmark for fallout from such drunk texting. I refer back to point 1
5) Privacy still is an issue. If you join said group, your number is acailable to all and sunder to whoever gets hold of a group member's phone. No matter if you have a burner, your number is there

Now these are but some things that can go wrong. But hey, it just might work
