Village LINE

[JAS21]

Our village committee set up LINE communication ... a great idea for advising useful information ... of course it was abused by many sending 'happy whatever' ... 'pictures of their children eating ice cream' etc

 

Resulting in constant 'pings' throughout the day ....

 

So many left ...

 

Can LINE be set up for outward messages only? Or does anyone have a solution to the problem ... banning users would be a loss of face ..

Set up a new group, and clearly state what it is for. People abusing the system before, and not having helpful posts, don't add :)

It may be possible to.set up a new group ... informing that it is ONE WAY ONLY ... and queries to be sent via the old system ... but TIT  ... worth a try ....

Just to clarify, do you want a group which is "broadcast". 

 

i.e. Only one (or a small group) of members can write to the group, everyone else is read-only?

 

[Forkinhades]

If so you can mute other members. I read it as the group needs input from others, but not pictures of ice cream.

This might work for you https://at.line.me/en/

 

It does broadcasts and 1-1 chat (you and a member).

 

And for low usage it appears to be free

To add to the link Crossy just posted...

 

A LINE for Your Line of Business

 

LINE@ accounts are special LINE accounts for your business or organization. Their wide range of features enable you to promote your company, brand, or product in new and far-reaching ways.

 

Overview of LINE@ Features [link]

 

The service seems set up to allow outgoing messages and 1-on-1 chats, so any subscribers posting back won't go out to everyone. Also provides the admin posting static information.  Nice.

Yupp, line@ should work. If I remember correctly, you can even disable 1on1 chats and also disable comments or likes on your broadcasted message.
Free you will get a random line account name, it will look something like this: @je83ksg
Everybody in your village would need to add that as friend ( could be done via qr code too ).
For 6usd per year, you can create a custom@xyz account. ie @moo12

Good luck :)
