I got an email about the text alerts we use for breaking news and specifically, why there weren't texts for the past two commitments. Our policy, based on feedback we got when we first started doing them, has been to not send after 9 p.m. But I wanted to get a feel from you guys on if that cutoff is still needed.
Remember, we don't send texts for bogus reasons. Some sites use it as a way to get people to read things. I promise you, we will never do that crap. Text alerts are for breaking news, which 99 percent of the time is going to be a commitment. I will definitely use them for things like coaching changes but aside from maybe an injury situation, I can't think of much else.
So, what time should we stop sending text alerts?
