So if I may quote this question from the Staff Application: A town owner messages you and explains that said user who is not allowed in the town is hovering outside the town borders and continuing to talk in the local and harass the town. How would you handle this situation, assuming the offending user is attempting to argue his right to be there due to the fact is “outside the town”? That problem can be solved with some moderating, but a simpler way would be to add the ability to be able to join a special chat channel called Town Chat. The commands would be /ch tc and /ch Town Chat. The chat color would be bright green, (The color of the Resident rank tag). and all players would have access to it for free. It would only show chatting from people inside the Town Chat channel and in the same town as you are.
This was suggested and denied a few months ago: https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-private-town-chat-channels.158019/ Quoting Jamie: "Town chat channels were removed because of reasons private to administration in addition to those publicized".
From my understanding. Private Town Chats could be coming back according to a alert in the Alert Channel around Christmas time by Jamie Unless I have misunderstood Jamie. ---- But thats a little off the point of this suggestion xD I like the idea of a /tc but I don't think it would solve the issue the question is asking. You'd just have a private channel that the users can separate from the user who isn't meant to be there, but that will probably not deter that user from leaving the town. So contacting moderation would still be the best corse of action imo whether there is a town chat or not.
I completely agree that asking a staff member would be the first course of action, but having a /ch tc would be helpful in many ways, especially with neighboring towns.
Please bring back town chat, I think it's the reason many bigger towns die because local chat is just no longer a viable option. Some of the best times I had in Lancaster was when we could use a town chat. I hope that it can come back, and it's obvious that we need it to be known support for it from the community is still there.
Doesn't local (/ch l) work for this? I mean, how many times out of 10 are you in a town with more than 3-4 people?
+1, It would be a really nice addition for neighboring towns that don't want to disrupt each other's local chats. I like this idea
I don't see how this is more useful than the old town chat suggestions. It doesn't even solve the issue of the hypothetical... said player can still talk in local, and since the majority of players can't leave local chat... anything they were saying would still reach the town members, additional channel or not. Not to mention that I don't think there's an easy way to hook our chat system into worldguard (so it would know specifically which town you were in). Our chat system already has an effective way for talking into players around you, it's called local chat. imo this suggestion 1) doesn't prevent the situation it's being proposed to prevent 2) doesn't add the features that most people who want private town channels want (being able to talk to their town members from anywhere) 3) not worth the likely considerable time/effort to implement also should note that light green is a poor choice for color, but that's trivial.
The only reason I liked town chat channels because it gave the ability for almost a conference call, which was nice so you could have a 4-way conversation without someone being able to interfere unless the are in the chat. But your proposal to fix that does not quite work, as the player is still able to talk in local and harass people around/in the town. If you are proposing that there was a chat channel that automatically detected what town using a certain method (/rg i, coordinate system etc..), I guess that would be able to work but a local chat would still be in place, making that chat somewhat useless. I also don't even know if you can have certain channels be accessed to different people based on their positioning solely, but I assume you cannot.
+1 would be very useful, i find it hard to know what town people are in in ch l and when im at spawn towns i dont want what i say to be visible to the people at spawn
+1 Is this still a slight possibility @JamieSinn Im sure i heard awhile back you said they could be coming back.
?? this suggestion isn't for the town chat's we used to have, it's literally for a "local" chat that can only be seen by your specific worldguard region
rip, thought it was a town chat system of sorts I will look to bump a mega old bring back town chat suggestion when i next get time to look through the suggestions forum
