Shoutbox in Lw's forum
« on: October 19, 2010, 10:30:14 PM »
A summary of the changes that you want:I think to be added ''Shoutbox'' in Lw's forum only to be used by:Managements,Admins,Moderators,Donators.

The advantages of this change happening:More contact with Managements,Admins and Moderators
And will be better to be catched cheaters.

The disadvantages of this change happenin:Some ppls can spam this shoutbox but I guess No.

Extra notes:Well if this is possible of course.

IF, for all, not only donators.

This has been suggested before and it was always told to use IRC. IRC is better for it, not everyone is going to hang here with their browser window open for a half-assed chat with people.

Shout boxes always look horrible on forums. If you really want the forums to look like a place created by noobs then yes a shout box would be awesome, however if you have standards then you'll know that shout boxes are just a gimmick, work terribly and are very untidy.

Admins are on IRC more than the forums. I can see the anonymous users and at any given time there are more admins on IRC than there are on the forums, they may not reply straight away but if they're in the user list then they will be receiving your messages.

If they are active and reply straight away then you can have an active public conservation or a private chat with them (which most shout boxes don't provide a way to do so)

Also IRC allows for private messages so you can send delicate information and not have everyone on the forums seeing what your saying. Plus shoutboxes always end up getting spammed by people.

IRC allows private messages from someone on IRC to a player, but not viceversa.

Wrong,

you can pm someone on IRC from ingame. I do it all the time with ACE..... just use /ircpm name message....
And benny I think /ircpm is only for donators or I wrong?

Well actually I think its a good idea to change the irc pm (from ingame) from donator only to anyone. I dont see it being "abused" alot, and it can help people contact the admins on IRC easier.
