Notification When a Game is Deleted or you are Kicked

Although it doesn't happen all that often, and I've only experienced it once, that one time was enough. I really think there should be a message when a game you are participating in is deleted or you are kicked by a GM. Although most GMs will not be so cruel, returning to find a game gone without any knowledge at all of why is damned frustrating. Perhaps when kicking someone, a prompt for a message to that user should appear. Perhaps there should also be a prompt for a message explaining why a game is deleted, which is sent to all members of that game. If the GM doesn't want to send their own message, there should at least be a default message sent to the user(s).

I agree.

While I can understand the idea for a player to be notified when a game is no longer available to them to join. A feature like this would cause issues for me as a GM since I am constantly copying games to do some testing for API scripts/macros without cluttering the original game or accidentally changing things that I didn't intend. So I will copy the game (including player settings because I do not want to lose my macros). If this were a feature, my characters would be notified of me kicking them from a game that is a copy of the game that they are in, which may cause unnecessary confusion for them when all I want to do is test something.

One suggestion (A suggestion suggestion?) would be to have a check box that would have to be unchecked to not send a notification. It would then give you more granular control of the notifications.

I feel like a short message is common courtesy and Roll20 could easily facilitate this, but Kyle makes a valid point. I like Erich's solution to this problem.

Yes, an option  Erich S. said: One suggestion (A suggestion suggestion?) would be to have a check box that would have to be unchecked to not send a notification. It would then give you more granular control of the notifications. Yeah, an option to be able to be notified would be nice.
