As you know, some OKTs send out mass SMS messages announcing new stocks or special promotions. Of course, they need to inform the bros about such matters. We, on the other hand, also need to be informed. So, it is mutually beneficial. After all, we cannot be constantly checking this forum or group websites.
The only problem is that the wife, parents, family members or even frends may see it. Just recently, I was at home and was taking a shower. My handphone was on the dining table and a SMS message came in announcing some new stocks. Fortunately, no one at home decided to see what the message was all about. Otherwise, I would be in trouble already. I am sure this problem applies to everyone, not just me. So, how to be kept informed but without arousing suspicions ?
This is what I propose. Each OKT should have a simple 3-character code. For example, Bro S can use “%@S” (sorry, bro, just using you as an example only) and send this out as a mass SMS to his group of contacts. When we receive it, we can then check this forum or group website. Otherwise, we can just phone/SMS back to the OKT when it is safe to do so. If the wife or other people see it, we can just dismiss it as an unknown message from an unknown party.
In order for this to work, enough bros must come forward and support the idea.
Secondly, the 3-character code must be co-ordinated otherwise we might get the same code for diffierent OKTs. This means that the OKT must announce it in this thread which code he/she is using (don’t worry, it won’t give AV any advantage by knowing this).
The alternative is for 1 person to be the co-ordinator. The OKT can PM the proposed code to him and, if no one else is using it, he will inform the OKT (by PM) that it’s ok.
Well, let’s have some response & feedback from the bros & OKTs.
