Respond to !calladmin

[ScootypTooty 371 / 8,393]

I was thinking the other day, and I noticed that we seemed to be getting quite a few calladmin requests. So, I thought that there should be a way for us admins + to let the players know that the admin request has been recieved, and an admin is coming online. 

 

Therefore, I belive that we should implement a !Respond command into the shoutbox. The bot would take the steamid of the staff member and in the server it would display, for example (maybe in yellow? We could use the forum tag colours for name and staff type?):

 

Admin Moose has responded to your calladmin request. Please wait. 

 

<Role> <Staff Name> has responded to your calladmin request. Please wait. 

 

Then, a PM from the Bot would be sent to the staff member saying that the response was sent. Also included in the PM, an invite link to the server (like the gametracker tags in the division list). 

 

In order to make sure the staff member is genuinely an admin for the server, it could check against the admin.ini file for the server and if matched, everything above takes place. If not, then the response is denied, and a pm is sent to the staff saying they are uneledgeable to respond to the call. 

 

We could add this to the point system that has been continuously discussed. 

 

I think that it could work and I understand it will be awkward to get it to work, but once in practice, it would be beneficial to those on the server as they know their report has been seen. 

 

Obviously there will be tweaks and such, I just wanted to throw out the idea and see what can become of it. 

 

Overall, we should let the players know that we are on the way. The players on the server can still record rule breakers whilst in wait, and deliver the evidence to the admin so they can sort the issue. Otherwise, they won’t know whether we’re actually reading the calladmin requests and on our way over. 

 

Thanks,

Moose.

Furthermore, there could be a way for us to add a message to the call, and if it’s a false calladmin report, (eg. the reason is: hi) then you can type !callremove or !calldeny to cancel the calladmin request and add a reason. It would look like this in game (Once again in a yellow, or orange colour as red/green is commonly used for messages):

 

Admin Moose has declined your calladmin request. Reason: Inappropriate use of calladmin.

 

And this in shoutbox:

 

!calldeny Inappropriate use of calladmin. 

 

Then, if declined 3 times (consecutively) due to poor reasons/abuse of calladmin, it would automatically block the player from !calladmin for 2 hours (for example). 

 

A statement could also be added for !respond, eg:

 

(in shoutbox) !respond Im coming, let me load up CS. 

 

(In server) Admin Moose has responded. Please wait. Message: I’m coming, let me load up CS. 

 

 

I would also like to point out that the command wouldn’t be hidden in shoutbox so other admins and players can see you responded to the call or denied it (If deemed necessary, it could be hidden from those below admin). If !respond or !calldeny is used by someone below admin, nothing would happen.

@Nick is recreating the calladmin to work differently and not through shoutbox. I mean +1 from me.

[Nick 1,249 / 17,857]

Ok, let me know if this has helped, or can be of use to you guys? Maybe this was already thought of? idk, but I have high hopes for the new improvements @Nick :banana: ! 

 

Looking forward to it

 

-Edit-

I love this idea @Moose, I hope they end up using it ^.^

As great as this addition sounds no admins come on when a player calls an admin. I personally think !calladmin is useless by the amount of times I been on Jailbreak and no admins came on when I or another player called for an admin. Not sure how it is on other servers though.

What’d be really interesting is an app (apple,mac,android & windows) which sends you notifications of !calladmin reports instead of forum messages. 

[Nick 1,249 / 17,857]

Don't you get forum notifications in your browser?

Only when I’m logged in, but calladmin doesnt show? Maybe it doesnt work for me or i just havnt seen it.

[ScootypTooty 371 / 8,393]

I thought it only showed replies to threads/friend activity

 

(sorry for double post)

[Nick 1,249 / 17,857]

I can control what you see  And I will include notifications :D 

 

The new CallAdmin is still a work in progress.

Okaii i’m actually really interested in the revamp you’re doing . 

 

But I think having notifications which are clear and only show for the server you admisistrate because what’s the poiny about me recieving a ca request for gmod ttt?

You are only listed as admin on the forums since it has been easier to administrate untill This point. New admin ranks on forums could be made to link each admin to their server and then only they receive the requests for That server besides the global admins getting all notifications.

[Nick 1,249 / 17,857]

GFLCore already has something in place for admins, but we're currently reworking that too. At a later point, CallAdmin will be a part of the new GFL Forum Suite, but for now I have a hacky solution that'll work for just CA
