Yeah, I’m not sure which would be more complex in the end to implement and configure. I’m still concerned about having a third level of discussion within the same topic, though.
You could do this today, though, eh? As long as you were OK with also letting all employees see whispers from admin, that is.
Is it worth considering accepting that constraint?
What are the scenarios where you’d need an admin to be able to whisper and not have it visible to all employees? And wouldn’t you at least sometimes want admins to be able to whisper to other employees if you’re letting other employees whisper to each other? How would that work?
Maybe in the “all employees can whisper amongst each other” model, admins should use a different tool to communicate with each other when they need to do so privately (like PMs or a staff only category or chat channel). If that were acceptable, you could do this today.
