Spreading awareness of short and long distance RP actions (/me, /do)

[MartosG]

For those who don't know, and I'm sure there's quite a few, you can create long and short distance RP actions. Such as;

/me(low)

/me(long)

/do(low)

/do(long)

/b(low)

 

I've been consistently using these for the past while, but from what I've noticed not many others do as well. I feel like there's not enough awareness from the script itself about these, and sure for some of you it may be a pointless detail, but in certain specific scenarios it can improve the QOL experience for everyone, for example in heavily crowded places such as nightclubs. Nobody enjoys their screen being spammed with unnecessary text that's not directly involving to them, and being unable to focus on the roleplay that they are actually involved in. Other examples are when someone's a bit further away, and you still wish to encounter with them through /melong, I've tried this before and it feels like it never reaches the second party, perhaps it has but with their regular distance /me I wasn't aware of it. There's also /highlight to have the target's text highlighted, but I'm not sure how many people know about this too.

 

Is this only me or are there more of you thinking the same? Is there anything we can do to spread awareness of this in a practical way?

/ame too for a brief action above your head. No-one cares if you laugh briefly at something in a nightclub so please don't "/me laughs briefly." whereas "/ame laughs briefly." is better for everyone.

I use /melow when I'm shit talking someone in /l and want to point them out to my friend without them metagaming me pointing at them like I've my whole arm outstretched.

I exclusively use /melong because my character is the main character and it's important the whole block knows he's chuckling.
