[FORUM] @Admin tag

8 years ago

You know when there's a thread that's derailed too far or when a topic is posted in the wrong section? Or when you're trying to start a RP, but need to wait for an admin to move it? I bet that's annoying. Not only do users have to wait, but when they go hastily tagging five different admins, it's probably a bother, right? Killa gets online to a thread already deleted by 3J. Berka gets a message for something already resolved by EndMaster? Annoying?

So, since technology exists for the sole purpose of allowing us to be lazy and making everything convenient, I recommend some system where tagging on admin can tag all of them at once. Kinda like what 3J was saying about the admin notification page. When someone needs to get an admin for them, they tag [@admin] or something, and a notification on some secret Admin Request Page, which they could check when needed, shows the thread and maybe the message its on. There could even be a number by it to show many requests are needed.

It sounds simple to me, but if it's more work than it's worth, go ahead and scrap it.

It's a good idea but I can't help but think it will be redundant once the changes JJJ recommended previously happens.

With that in mind this could be an easily "transition" idea between here and there, and it could still serve some purpose even if there are reporting buttons (like calling an admin to a thread for clarification on something).

So while I think its use will diminish over time, I'd agree with this being implemented.
