Of course! I really hope this feature can be implemented :)
Pinglist Function?

An option to have a ping list for characters that people may be interested in, similar to the "favorites" button! Just click it and get added to a ping list when/if the character goes up for offer. Make it so it can be turned off if the owner prefers not to have people on one.
There is already a favorites section, but many people are interested in buying by favoriting, while some just like the design or don't want to own it.
Suppose there was a way to enable ping lists on a character without people having to ask explicitly; in that case, it might make it easier to decipher who may be interested in resale without struggling through advertising/forums or editing a character for their subscribers when only ten people follow you, and the character has 200 faves.
Then a character with 400+ favorites won't have to ping all 400 people to tell them the character is up for an offer when only 50 people may be interested in owning it. It's not plausible to go through and ask everyone more favorites if they're okay with being pinged, so having a separate function for it may be helpful.
EDIT: This would also work amazingly well with the new function allowing people to post commissions, adopts, and other sales posts!
Edit: Also, having an area to see the characters you'd like to be pinged for would be a good idea! Like the favorites section, but more specific. (Thank you for the idea, SmilishStylish !)

Please comment if you disagree!! I wanna see your side, too.
milkteapuppy You can disable favs on individual character profiles by going to the 'advanced settings' section at the bottom of the character profile edit page.
As for this suggestion, +1. I'd like to be able to freely fav cool designs and characters without being worried about getting spammed with unsolicited sale/trade pings.
Late but +1!
As it'd be a late implementation though and some people may have loads faved they'd like to be pinged for which would be a pain clicking each one for the feature maybe there should be some kind of faves manager where you can mark if you want it to ping you if they get put up for trade or not
