The Ability To Turn Off Local OOC

[Snoot]

Short description: As the title states.

Detailed description: With the current state of things, local OOC is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, with people spamming local OOC after any car crash and just about anything odd that happens when it could easily be solved without any OOC input. And while I understand the point and definitely use the local OOC sometimes myself, it would be an absolute godsend to be able to disable that chat option just as much as you can disable radios, faction chats and the sort.

And of course I understand the part local OOC plays in admin sits and that it is important for admins to use, so I also suggest that admin local OOCs will still be visible even if the option is disabled. For anything really important, people can of course PM you if it is really necessary, which would keep the chat clean for others as well.

 

Commands to add: /togb

How would your suggestion improve the server?  More time spent in character, less in local OOC arguing if you choose to disable the option.

So as much as I'd love to support the suggestion, I see it causing more issues then it solves. Toggling off OOC chat isn't going to curb people going OOC, it'll just make situations and communication more difficult. Some people will have it off and some people won't and it'll just create headaches for staff. 

 

What needs to happen is more enforcement by staff, I shouldn't have to argue with a ricer to convince to RP the crash we just had. I think staff got a little soft on people and now they assume they can just OOC their way out of scenario's they create.

I like the way snoot thinks

agreed

it should be the misson of all trve roleplayers to brute force roleplay at people in a very muscular and handsome way when they attempt to uselessly bicker in /b so being able to turn off ooc completely would make the server a better place. i dont want to see grey text that i dont read anyway

gta:w for the roleplayers - ooc babies out

thanks for reading

As you said, if people have something important to say, they'll say it in PM. As time goes on I'm seeing /b be far more casual (I'm sometimes guilty of this myself when spoken to in /b).

 

I hope this gets added.

I like this, some people like to spend way too much time in /b instead of roleplaying.

yes pls

OOC chat is needed. If someone has theirs disabled how do you let them know a scene is admin paused, how do you ask for their forum name for a report or when you're taking their plea for the court system? It's a vital tool of roleplay.

Please, for the love of god. Or at least to block /b from someone specific. Anything to stop some people locally from me to use /b as a chat room
