#9098: Rethink Site (Wide) notices
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  imath        |      Owner:  imath
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  high         |  Milestone:  14.0.0
Component:  Messages     |    Version:  1.0
 Severity:  normal       |   Keywords:  2nd-opinion

 Today, this feature is included into the BP Messages component (although
 it might be more consistent to have it in the Notifications one). The
 legacy reason for this is probably due to the fact writing Site Notices
 was done from the Private Messages front end UI.

 To warn Site Admins about important BP information, we used a workaround
 for the Admin notifications feature in 11.4.0, see #9007.

 Recently we had this [https://github.com/buddypress/bp-
 documentation/discussions/123#discussioncomment-8437783 discussion] about
 it working on the new BP Documentation project and I remember we also
 discussed about it with @espellcaste from a Messages component ticket.

 I believe we need a Core feature to send important notices to Admins (The
 Notifications/Messages component can be deactivated). We experienced this
 need in 11.4.0 because of the BP Rewrites API important changes and I'm
 sure we'll need it again soon (See [https://buddypress.org/tag/roadmap/
 roadmap]).

 I think Admin users shouldn't need to activate the Messages component to
 send important notices to all their members. We can improve these Site
 Notices to play some other role like warn only Site writers about
 important information.

 Let's move it out of the Messages component & transform it as a Core
 feature!
