 I started a compilation of ideas a while back to post a bunch at once instead of making a new topic every time. Since work on the game has really ramped up, I'll post these now. I put the main bits in bold if you don't have the time to read through it all.

RAIDS
 I frequently mistake a certain raid which I had already done recently causing the warning message saying I can't raid it yet. When exploring the world, it would be very beneficial if, when walking onto the space where a raid boss is, display an indicator if the raid requires more cool-down time. It would be exceptionally great if the remaining time left would also be displayed. Below is the format I'm thinking of.
                                                                                                                                                                   
Kuza's Pet Noob [50] Raid  Details
Fred [50] [4hrs Left] Raid  Details
               
               
           

 FORUMS


 I have two thoughts on the forum. The first has to do with quotations. At present, quotes are nested within each other. When people don't remove the excess baggage, it becomes cluttered and repet*tive. There are times to have nested quotes though, maybe a button to quote, and another to quote all? My suggestion is to remove the quote nesting.

 My last forum idea is regarding pages. Could you add an option in the preferences to change how many posts we see per page? Right now the number is six which is very, very low. If I had the option, I would probably do 15.

CHAT

 The volume right now for chat notifications is high compared to other sounds on the computer. It scares the living jeepers out of me at night when I don't have anything playing but have my headphones on working on homework or something and someone sends a message. An idea would be to offer a volume control for the notifications.

 Screwing up a private message stinks. I appreciate how it's changed so the message doesn't accidentally get sent to everyone in the error message. Changing the color of the text box to a darker grey when /msg name>> is typed would be a very nice feature to help keep things sorted for the user.

 With chat bans, the user doesn't get any notification as to the reason, though if this is happening, they will know. Still, I think it's fair to require the mod to enter a reason in to serve as both notification to the user as well as logging (below). Requiring a command of /ban Username>>Minutes Reason would serve this purpose. Since it's Username>>minutes[number], the space serves as an easy and reliable divider making it a natural addition.  A quick alteration to the "you've been banned" box could add both the reason, the number of minutes, as well as the time in which the ban will be over. Having the user get a message for good measure would be preferable. This will let them go back to check the time they'll be let back in. Any time they try to enter chat while banned, the same box can display with the minutes left and time they can return. So on top of the command alteration, notify banned users of the time, reason and time allowed back via warning box and private message.

 The final piece is along the lines of the above paragraph. Essentially, take any ban or unban when it happens and put it in a log.

Not sure if this will work for changing the color of the chat text box. I know the regular expression is correct but I don't have time right now to continue. Might as well try and help if I'm going to be a pain and suggest all these things 👀



function msgColor(){
  let regex = /\/msg\s[a-zA-Z\s_-]+>>/  // Regex matches all characters allowed for username.
    if (regex.test(document.getElementByID('chat_msg_box').value == true) {  // Get value of msg_box & test for regex match
      document.getElementById('chat_msg_box').style.color = "#d2d2d2";  // If match is true, change color to grey.
  }
}
document.getElementById('chat_msg_box').onchange= msgColor();  // Run function if text box changes value.

  Thank you for your concern, DJ. You bring up a good point. I didn't consider how my post could inadvertently take away from other points previously made. This is especially relevant because you were the genisis for the chat ban idea whereas my points brought up are simply additions while leaving out some of your points from the root idea. I've added your original post below which is tagged as already being planned. I reviewed the thread and didn't see any other points that weren't addressed in this post. If there is something else I missed, please feel free to post it or link to that thread. 





Quote from DemonicJ Original Post
When a chat ban is issued, the offender should receive a notifcation 
saying which Admin, Mod or Half mod issued it, the reason why & its 
duration. That notification should also go to the rest of the Admin, 
Mod, Half Mod team so it can be seen (or be made aware of) & 
reviewed if necessary. For the sake of transparency, the ban should also
 be only able to be done in the genral channel, again, it will then show
 which mod has done it & a reason should also be attached to it.

Genisis for the idea?? lol





I bought the original idea up as there seemed to be some over zealous mods/half mods getting trigger happy with chat bans (despite admins reading the chat & taking no action, nor were any chat bans I was forced to endure ran their entirity). The idea was more about accountability as whenever I asked about them, they had to be looked into to find out who & why (then to be over turned). 





That said, the original post has been changed to acknoledged by CK & the 2 pages of peoples thoughts & ideas have been seen & discussed in a better manner than this summary post.





I get you like your name at the top of everything, but this is FRP & there are still a few members left here. Let them speak & have discussions, dont summarise them into a Dekcah post, even if that means you dont get to be in the front seat yeah?
