idea for new comand

[Da Dealer]

it would be /request and it would send a white message in to the room saying Da Dealer is requesting that somone join his game 100k limits

[wonderer]

that's just spam waiting to happen.

[Mithoz]

If youve made a game it's already implied that your requesting someone to join your game. I have to agree with Wondy, it's could end up with lots of grey sPamming

[DaJollyRoger]

Make it so you can only send it once every 30 seconds? I like this idea

[Blake van java]

I like it, but my question is who will actually listen to it?

[sam]

yea i like it the 30seconds thing is a great idea to so its just a reminder that the person in the game wants to play

[hiseas21]

i think that it should be able to be done, but just to not spam it, i agree on this too but how many times can this be done? as said b4 this should have a time limit as to how many times u can do it in a specified time

[wonderer]

but take take in to account if theirs like 4 people tryig to play a match and hit the command. and people that are talking will be getting all the gray spam.

and another thing if someone gets muted they could just site in a 2vs2 map and just spam it until they come back from eating or doing something else to waste time while their muted.

I like the idea but not the asking part cause it don't work most of the time

[sam]

it should just be the creater of the map be able to use this command

[LawrenceA]

i don't like the idea. especially as the new players will find that nobody plays them because the experienced players are spamming the chatroom with requests

[sam]

[LawrenceA]

even then i dont see the point of it when the open games are on the list for everyone to see

[sam]

But people talk in the chat and sometimes there's players that make a map but go somewhere else like in the real life maybe to get a drink ECT but with me if no one playes with me I just make another one and all of a suddern someone joins

[N@TE]

I disagree with this idea. As wonderer said, it is just spam waiting to happen. The margin between being spam and useful is very slim, if not nonexistent. The amount of time restriction that would have to implemented into this to prevent spam would make it nearly useless, and it would be rarely used.

Furthermore, this would require more work on the mods' part to make sure there is not a spamming abuse. If you have just a couple of people doing /request at the limited few minutes, it's going to add up to quick spam. It's not worth Scott's coding for extra work on mods' part and a rare use.

How about this: you're in a game and type /chat and you can chat in the room like anyone else. Type /chat again and you are back chatting in the game.
