Should there be a town chat option?

  1. Yes, it'd help spread information easier.

    On survival, I and im sure others would highly appreciate a town chat command. Similar to the factions "/f chat". I've seen it on the wiki "/tc (msg)". But it is not implimented :( . Please consider this as it would be very useful in notifying town members information. (About plots, builds, etc) Thanks for reading :)

    It'll be harder on staff.

    Well it isn't a bad idea, Will staff be able to check on it, is the question, otherwise players could just advertise in /tc and we wouldn't know what's going on. But imagine 10+ towns and all the different towny chat. We also have to look out for the main chat, deal with players, fix griefs and such.

    Probably why its not implemented ;) Most of the things like that happen because someone abused it or something (For example: The Iron Golem Spawns)

    To be honest, I feel staff need to look at plugins in a way that will make the game run smoother and make the game more enjoyable for the player rather than looking at something and saying no because they wont be able to police a certain chat line? I understand where you are coming from but on aem we have people that report others for even hinting at a server name so I think you'd be safe in that respect ;)

    @zRinne how do staff monitor the factions chat ? Couldn't they use that same technique?

    And I agree with @Tree_Killer_ there is always going to be a downside to any addition of the game. You simply have to decide its ethicalness based on pros and cons. Not to be rude, but staff are there to work. If things get a bit more tricky, well thats the volunteer service they applied for..

    Those are basic responsibilities of staff, which is besides the point. I understand the hastle of players constantly having to be assisted and supervised, and admire your determination in fulfilling those necessities, however this isn't what this thread is focused on.

    Just because some want or like to reach out and give a helping hand, does not mean they want to stand in line and have their arms ripped off.

    I respect your request and I too would love to have this, and this statement is simply my opinion, but don't think we have a right to dismiss any reasoning for not having it.

    Staff works hard to help keep players happy and it's the owners job to ensure that staff is happy or there would be no staff. o_O

    Peace! :cool:
