[REJECTED] Idea: In-Game Staff List

I had been thinking about this for a little while now and I believe that a /staff or /staff list command could be useful for new and veteran players.

This list could either show all the staff members so people can look at the server list and see if that staff member is on, or it could list the staff members currently on.

This is my first suggestion on this server ever so please give constructive criticism :D

P.S. If those command suggestions cannot be done maybe another command could be suggested?

This has been suggested, accepted, suggested again and marked invalid for being a duplicate suggestion. Just like this thread probably will be.

I do agree it will be helpful though.

Oh...

Well, I didn't see that thread so I am sorry ahead of time to staff for making another thread about this.

Please disregard the suggestion :(

Oh, and Jack, thanks for pointing that out :)

If a new poll is made regarding an already accepted suggestion, the new results will override the results of the old poll.

I voted no.

You guys do realize this also provides a way for griefers/hackers to know if we are online right?

No.

Yeah the minor benefits that could be achieved by having a /staff online function, is far outweighed by the ability to check up on griefers without them knowing.

Still, when staff isn't online it's usually accompanied by "WHERE IS STAFF!!!?!?!?!1!!" over and over again, so I wonder if it isn't a zero sum thing.

Who knows.
+1

No.
I think if you have a green tag you shouldn't be allowed to do this command.

Psst! You can see everyone is online with one button. It does not take that long to figure out who is online.

No.

Edit: green tags not allowed? If they are intended griefers, (1) they will most likely know the staff within a short period of time by asking, (2) and they could just wait a day to use the command.
