So here is my thought.
Since there is [b][i]NO[/i][/b] form of clan communication in game, other than when you are in a fire-team, how about using the postmaster as a working[i] post office[/i]?
The image is a graphic I created in order to show a mock-up of the idea.
If a clan member wanted to put out a message to the [b]ENTIRE [/b]clan, just a few members, or just those on your friends list, they could just ...
• go to the Postmaster
• create a message
• select the recipients from a list type
<><><> • Friends List
<><><> • Clan Members
<><><> • or just choose [b]ALL[/b]
• select the appropriate icon for the topic of the discussion
• and hit [b]SEND[/b]
• the postmaster delivers the message
When the player/clan member comes to the tower and checks in with the Postmaster, they could review their message(s).
We are all aware how it is done now.
[b]Option 1)[/b]
• Go to the FORUMS area for your clan
• Create a post
• Pray the the members actually READ it
• Hope they respond
[b]Option 2)[/b]
• Try to contact them in game via fire team (extraordinarily difficult for a large clan)
• Beat head in to wall after being unable to reach more then 2-5 people at any given point in the day.
• Repeat
Also ... the PS3 only allows for 100 in your friends list so using the built-in messaging system could be problematic.
Here is why ...
• Say you are Praiano from Gran Turismo fame. (He does car tunes like nobody's business. )
• Because of that, his friends list is maxed.
• Now, say he buys Destiny and joins a clan.
• He can not use his PS3 message system to contact them because his friends list is full of GT players.
• That is why it needs to be in-game.
Guardians ... what say you!?

This is a very good point, would like to see this, and I think it would he very helpful for larger clans.
