my idea is to put a symbol like an exclimation point in front of all staff members in-game name so that a) they appear at the top of the userlist in the lobby which makes it easy to see if any staff are online b) you will see them all grouped together instead of having to look for Admins, GMs, and then mods as you scroll down the list this would be helpful for all players and i see a lot of people ask `is there any staff online?` now u can just see at a glance right when you are in the lobby

I like the idea.

We shouldn't have any symbol, we should just be at the top of lobby list.

or we could get a list for online staff members if the staff members don't like the look of the exclamation point at the start of their name
who cares if the staff dont like it

I don't think that's possible unless we have the source.
If the list/staff on top doesn't work out then maybe a command?
@staffon- Would list all the staff members we have online.

I second this big time cuz i know some staff aren't gonna like the exclamation mark and a command isn't that hard.
A command would make this a little harder then it has to be, just put them at the top.

Ugly. There is probably a way to just put us at the top.
something that would help all players is getting rejected because it 'looks ugly' ? I think you should get your prioritys straight
staffs job is not to look pretty its to help players

This is lame, in special the "Pig" part.
There should be no need for a symbol. Im sure theres a way to log mods/gms/admins names at the top of the lobby list.
Symbols look
unprofessional and could be
mislead for someone impersonating if you're
new, and used to play old BOTS!!

No need to attack the mods by comparing other games, infact I have yet to know/remember a game i've played where they have symbols in there name to be logged in at the top of the list. Most games can do it without tricking the order of syntax.
Why the need to attack staff by the false accusation that they brag about professionalism?

that was in no way an attack wtfffff
this would make everything more organized an professional
i said since they are always saying they want to be professional, they should do this
Harp is usually derogative.
Anywho, symbols make it messy and look bad.
For the people who said the command idea was bad and it makes it more ridiculous.
I said if the top of the list thing didn't work then maybe a command would work.
Not that a command idea was better than putting the names at the top of the list.
Just to clarify.
^ Indeed, i believe i have played a game before where if you needed help of a gm, you could /help and it would warn all the gm's online (or admins or mods in this case) and therefore you could only pm them once you had been replied to.
Or you could do a WoW type thing, and make a ticket to PM mods and what not.
But a @command to show the status seems useless, I would make it so if you need help, you can just @help and it would message all the online staff with your name therefore, a staff could whisper you.
Only because, I dont think there would be a problem with just putting the staff at the top of the list.
EDIT: Or you could be twice as professional, and make santa code a TAB next to the "Guild" and "Friends" thing, that says like, "Online Staff" or maybe just "Staff"
Which would take you to another little window where it only shows the log for staff members. (This is only if you cant find a way to put staff at top of lobby list)
"All"
"Whisper"
"Guild"
"Help"
If you need help you just go to the "help"option and write your message and whatever staff(s) are on they can answer it for you right there.

It's impossible to add another window without the source code.
Also if there was a command that whispered the users name to all staff members we would most likely get flooded with a billion people. Another problem would be that 6 staff members might be helping 1 person which is kind of redundant when the other 5 staff members could be helping 5 other people.

@The Main Suggestion:
In all seriousness it's not that hard to scroll down the lobby list and find a staff members name. But I guess it would help people find the staff more easily.
but new players dont know who is staff and who isnt , which is another problem
This isnt even a big problem, but I thought it would be more "professional" to have something like WoW like a place where you can place a ticket and it would be reviewed by GM's. Not that this game is big enough, and theres only 2 places you could be, the lobby and in a game like sector/pvp/base. Which means, you could just message them, but I think it would still be a bit more efficient to have players WRITE out whats wrong and have a ticket waiting, so a GM/Mod could go and read them all and answer them accordingly.
But its not a necessity, and dont think it will be considered. ^ Btw this would make the "report-a-rule breaker" section useless.

If this was possible it would be "neater".
But im wondering, if alot of people keep asking and asking alot in the "help" chat it would become a little annoying to see who needs help. :/

the `help` chat option wouldnt work.. Far too often there are no staff online or they are afk, people would get mad when their requests for help arent answered. I think that would be overkill.

Actually it really wouldn't make that much of a difference.
If people whispered a mod and he didn't respond the person would still get mad anyways.
Honestly if there was a help option and a staff member was afk. When the staff member came back he could look through the help section and talk to the person later. Whilst looking through whispers can be more difficult because whispers are used for idol chats as well.
It would be more efficient imo.
i guess youre right

if this doesn't get added cuz it 'makes it easier for rulebreakers' then we are letting the rulebreakers win
