What if ST made a thing called “studio updates”? If you're the owner of the studio you can send out 500 character or less “updates” that won't appear on profiles or anything ~ just all of the curators' and managers' messageboxes.

This way, if a studio is becoming inactive, the owner won't have to go to every member's profile and give an update ~ they can just send it out to everyone at once. Plus, you can avoid spam ~ if you don't like a studio update, or a studio is sending out too many updates, just don't curate anymore.

Here are some good suggestions:

~ There could be a fifth studio tab that everyone can view called “Updates” to prevent private messaging.

Projects | Comments | Curators | Activity | Updates

~ The updates COULD appear in the comments with something to distinguish them from normal comments, such as an “Update from @Manager” banner or the text all being in bold or italics.

Bad mock-up coming soon!

~ To prevent spamming, you can only send out updates once per day (or something similar).

Sorry, this studio has already sent out an update today.

~ Every manager can send out updates (this might also help people only choose managers that will benefit the studio).

Bad mock-up coming soon!

~ There should be a “Report” button on the update.

Report Studio Update? Yes/No

Wow, the first time I see two posts with the same exact title right next to each other on the front page O.O (well, not anymore, rip)

That is the old account.
I recommend the OP to switch accounts once more and close the old topic.

As of the suggestion, I don't know why not, so yes!
Maybe even non-curators could get them, when they click the follow button?
