Chat Suggestion

[Kenzo]

WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:

My suggestion is to add a way to disable the voting notifications as well as the friend online notification.

The reason for this? Well, if you're attempting to have an uninterrupted conversation, deep roleplay session, or any other plethora of scenarios, it's difficult to do so when every so often your chat is spammed with notification of people voting and also notifications of friends joining (which I should also add mentions it twice which fills chat even more).

When we purchase ranks it removes the advertisements telling us we can make money by voting and the advertisements that mention the server's sponsor of Apex Hosting (I'm not sure if the latter still happens as I do have a rank and I haven't seen it in a while).

So I believe there should be either a command list or a GUI which allows us to toggle the notifications of the following:

• People Voting
• Friends Joining the Server
• The ONRAIN Advertisement (Only if we have an OnRain account already, which can be determined since we link using our in-game phone numbers.)
• Adverts
• Allowance Notifications
• Donation Notifications

I should mention that some of these notification toggle benefits may be an option only open to donators just like how the current voting and sponsor advertisements are removed to donators.

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:

I believe this will benefit the server/community by allowing us to have more customizability in what we see flooding our chats allowing to just see the important things at times.

Spoiler: Screenshots

Afterthought: After some thought and after I was notified that we actually can turn off our friend online messages, possibly a feature could be added where we can whitelist which specific people we want it to show us join, possibly people that you'd like to know join, but not necessarily every single person who you have friended because a lot of people have friend lists 10s of pages long.

as much as I would like to disable certain notifications in chat, we actually can not with a few of them for the following: voting is mandatory to be announced in chat so that we resume the partnerships and connections with the website, that's why the messages are made greyed out so its at least as low profile as possible we have to keep those enabled, you can actually toggle the "player is online" message with /f toggle messages so that is actually already a feature, The onrain advertisements are because the platform is relatively new and we are attempting to get it more publication, I see no issue with adding this to the disabled notifications list in the future, as for adverts for stores, that is another issue, people would disable it and stores would not gain as much attention as they do, killing a lot of its player base and not telling them when they're open at the specific times they usually set, Allowance notifications is another one is don't see much of a problem having an option to disable, but for donation notifications, they are there to show that the player has supported the server, I'm not sure I agree too much with turning them off especially as they are not too frequent any more.

TLDR:

• People Voting MANDATORY
• Friends Joining the Server TOGGLABLE
• The ONRAIN Advertisement (Only if we have an OnRain account already, which can be determined since we link using our in-game phone numbers.)
• Adverts WOULD KILL OFF ALOT OF TRACTION TO STORES
• Allowance Notifications NO ISSUES
• Donation Notifications THERE TO SHOW SUPPORT

omg i didnt even know we could do the toggle friends joining :0

also i guess it makes sense for the rest that you mentioned we couldn't :thonk:

i guess it kinda sucks though, but it makes sense for the sake of the server and its partners

This has already been suggested many, many times and been rejected for some of the things Customable has stated above.
It has been grayed out as much as possible and is barely noticeable, at least for me. If you're in a "deep" roleplay then your chat-flow should overwhelm the voting.

Well, not all the time. There are some people, including me, that detailRP during deep roleplay, and thus the chat-flow, especially when the people there are only two or three total, slows to a crawl on message rate, yet message are large, making chat fill with other things between actions or speeches.

A possible solution for you is to download the mod that you can separate the Minecraft chats per blocks/filters, and remove the block with those things you don't wish to see (Although, I wouldn't recommend that you stop seeing adverts)

(I believe these are the mods)

Thank you for your suggestion! After discussing this with the team we have decided to decline it.

Any of these messages can be filtered out client-side using Feather Client with your own Forge Mods (see above suggestions).

- The ONRAIN advertisement is now added to the bypass list for Fundraiser and above.​

- Voting and Donation messages support the server and will not be removed.​

- Adverts benefit the entire server and sometimes are used during events.​

- We will consider adding a toggle for some system messages like allowance, but again you can filter it client-side.​
