Rejected More features and easier accessibility for user-made rooms/group chats

Yearly Rito

A bunch of my friends on Pokemon Showdown make private groups often, usually for tournaments or discussions. A group we made became pretty popular and at one point had around 40 people in it. The group lasted for days and was a more open place for us to talk and to have specifically catered tournaments. However, having only one member allowed to be staff and therefore make decisions, it became difficult to manage and maintain. I found it time-consuming having to manually invite each and every member, whether it was new people or people asking to join back.

When making a temporary room, there should be the ability to have several staff members (mods, drivers etc.) to make it easier to manage.
The room settings (setting a room intro, emoji filter, modchat, caps filter etc.) should be allowed to be changed by the room owner.
There should also be an easier way for people to join, such as a link they can click, a request they can send or a code they can type in. These rooms need an option where you can decide if the room allows automatic entry (again with a code or link) or permission-granted entry from a staff member.
I also find it unjust that a user-made group will expire if there hasn't been any activity within 40 minutes. I feel like 40 minutes is too short a time limit, and would humbly request it to be pushed up to at least 1-2 hours, as even the official public chat rooms often go longer than 40 minutes without activity.

Thank you for listening and I hope you take my suggestions into consideration.

What you're suggesting are more akin to the groupchats of old and are not available to regular users anymore, only as subroom groupchats that are connected to public rooms through roomstaff. Groupchats for the general masses are made in this limited way to provide something that's more like group PMs rather than a small room of your own, as groupchats have been abused plenty in the past and were not even available to most because of that before this re-introduction with limited features. As such, re-implementing features like this will most likely not be considered. If you have managed to create a hangout of that size, you're better off trying to qualify for a private room instead.
 
This is a very good idea. When the host leaves, no one can create UNO games, so the people will get bored and leave, making it impossible to keep a group exist for a long time.
