Calling Admins to Server

(Right off the bat, I don't know if there are plans for this or if this was mentioned before so I apologize if I am re-saying something that has been brought up before)

Anyways, I thought of a feature that if not could be incorporated into the servers. Basically lets say there is a troublemaker on one of the servers and no admins are currently on it, all a player has to do is write !calladmin in the chat and it will contact all admins online on other servers (Playing the same game) to come join in and check out the issue. This could potentially make it easier and quicker to spot hackers and other troublemakers.

 

Love it. It could just send off a message to the admins, and then notify us if one responded. While its cool, it sounds like alot of code haha. I try to tell everyone to add me as i dont change my name, and am available for contact most of the time. But i do think something similar used to exist, not in a post, but in the servers.

 

Pretty awesome. I love it.

 

That would be great, I wouldn't have to dig through my friends list anymore.

 

The community I was in before this one (TTT-FUN) has something like this set up, I will link to their post about it, see if that's something you would like (It was also in GMOD, so a bit easier to code)

 

I see people spam this command pretty often, mostly as a joke...it may start to annoy admins if they get loads of "prank calls", which may make them less likely to answer a situation where they're actually needed. I would love to see this work if everybody would respect its use, though

 

Well if someone was spamming it maybe a gag would resolve such an issue? I honestly don't know if gags block out commands, but if they do then a permanent gag (after a few warnings) should quickly resolve the issue of such "Pranksters"

 

id say, if possible, to add a delay/wait time before each command like 1 minute or something. I think this would be a great idea as !Votekick/!Voteban seems to be used to kick/ban players to either let friends into the server or just to get rid of someone the other players dont like. +1 to this idea

 

If we do put this in I would just add to the MOTD, "abuse of this 'what ever you want to call it' will result in. A ban"

 

Instead of this I was looking agai. And saw this:

• Usermanager Modul - Download Usermanager Modul

• API to disallow clients to report someone or protect a player to be reported
• Currently:
  • Disallow reporting when a player is muted
  • Disallow reporting when a player is gagged

So ya I believe that would work

 

I think thatd be perfect

 

@Woody do you plan on adding this to the server in the near future or will this stay on the drawing board for a while?

 

I think that we should test it on one server to start, possibly orange.

What notification types would be wanted?

@Woody Can you set up a quick test server with the same config as orange please so I can start testing the addon?

 

How would I access that.

I think we should have it set up for all of them, the admins can decide personally what type they want to reciece, I think TS, and Forum should be a mandatory, but also set up Steam and Window format. incase the admins want to reviece them those ways aswell

 

Sounds fine to me, I voted steam alert which i think would be the best way.

 

Steam would probably be best for me since i dont have notifications for my emails (for notifications via forums). My steam is always on (or should be anyway) through my phone app

 

I believe through forum it's a module where we can claim tickets, so if we're on the forums and it pops up we could claim it that way aswell
