Making admin pms more obvious in afk situations.

Post by Dax Dupont » #341557

Since I lurk a lot in FNR, there's been several cases where someone got banned temporarily to explain something because they didn't answer an admin pm because they went afk and the admin pm arrived while they were afk and thus didn't respond to it when they got back.

My proposed solution would be having a bar like the disconnection bar, an icon or something like the unread message thingy. Clicking those would scroll to the apm.

Being able to query with the in-game client some timetables when a admin is expected to arrive normally and admins basically setting egg timers would be helpful, impractical, but transparent and useful.

Can we make it so that the chat stops scrolling when you get an adminPM until you scroll past it?

I was kinda hoping players can get a ticket tab that shows just the tickets they ahelp so they can go back to it throughout the round and easily transfer the conversation to say admin complaints without logdiving. They'd also be able to see if it was resolved even if the admin doesn't explicitly tell them.

If possible you could also just put it in the ooc tab above the verbs since having an entire tab you'd barely use seems weird.

Make a thing like this for the fancy schmancy goonchat when an admin-pm scrolls offscreen without a response.

Yeah, this is exactly what I mean.

If they are afk for a short notice, you might not notice and the apm might have passed. Especially with some of the chat spam that happens it can happen.
Either way, this feature would have a net benefit to prevent some of the explain yourself bans that have happened.
