@all tag

My suggestion is to give staff members and CDT leaders the ability to tag everyone who posted in a certain thread.

That way they'll get a notification if there is an important update without compiling usernames and sending out a bulk PM.

Or just give it to everyone and give people the ability to disable the feature.

 

I was thinking about that as well the other day

Some useful tags I think could work

@Mod
@admin
@here (people that have posted + reading the thread)

Or potentially an @[Usergroup] command for example "Market mod"

Yes yes yes. The @Mod and @admin we need those. Couple of times if I had to contact the mods online I had to tag all of them and look up for their names.

 

I like the addition of Gracious' suggestion.

@Thread
@Mod
@Global
@admin
@CDT
@omm
@securityteam

Would all be useful to have.

This is already a feature request in the bug tracker AFAIK

Like fixing avatars? /s

Hopefully @Sythe or @Matthew can push this along then if its already been approved.

 

Would this also include a sort of subscription thing i've been trying to suggest to cdt.

So it would @Tag normal members who wish to be in the know about cdt events ? And this would associate to the group of members who are in a subscription group per say.



Edit: I was on a forum once, where they had groups, and you could link something to them, and all the participants in the groups would receive a notification etc. Is this physically possible

this is the worst reason to add these. no one wants to get spammed by people who cant search for two seconds to find the answers to their questions

i think @here is fine for normal users and could be really useful, except traders will use it to spam people who've posted on their threads. can maybe make that an infraction-worthy offense. @staff, @sectionals, @globals, and @admins should be staff-only

the others seem mostly useless. how many times do you need to call a cdt member's attention to something when pming them would be a hassle?

Or possibly make it instead of being accessed by just anyone, its like a perk to donating possibly and can be taken away if abused by said donation threshold.

 

A feature request does not mean this is approved. And I personally would not approve this. I think it's unnecessary and if people want updates for a thread they can subscribe to it.

Or like someone said, for donators. I understand your point and didn't thought about it that way, your right. But for donators?

why would i want donors spamming me and more than i want normal users spamming me? i dont see any way that this helps except for staff trying to notify each other of decisions made by other staff

if you need a staff member for something pm one who's online or hop in the discord where we all hang out

Spamming you? If someone tags you they most likely have a problem and you as a mod are expected to help them with it. I think that donators would have some knowledge of when needing a mods assistance. With that said, I bet you wouldn't get tagged many times a day. And if it really bothers you so much, maybe you should change your job?

or we could just not add an annoying system that doesnt add anything there's nothing wrong with pming a mod in 99% of cases, and people can talk to us directly on discord if they need to

I say the @here tag is all we need. and even that should be a donor perk imo

 

I'm just gonna go ahead and deny this because it would cause mayhem and I personally hate being spammed with alerts
