I do think that, at least for F roles, ocomms should not be as easy to use as it is. Ideally, you'd want little slip-ups to turn into RP as a result, but honestly, it's just abused more than anything else by the 15,532nd cadet of the day minging and yelling about how "the O5 council sent A-1 to nuke the 008 zombie virus," which yes, failbreaches like that are obviously handled by staff - But IMO it'd be nice if there was some kind of mechanical limitation to make things better for both the community and the staff, because I can't imagine it's that fun handling the umpteenth cadet failbreach on ocomms when there are other things that staff could be doing at the time.

generational fumble after such a god tier mayor run but atleast tylenol is back
+support


also what emilia said, majority of roles really have no business being able to access ocomms even if its a great source of entertainment

Just rework this suggestion to make all communications between everything faction leadership based, instead of SA+ needing to config everything. This would also make stuff like K/18/AP0 and other commslines also function within gameplay, instead of just being a openly visible commsline with the most easily metagamable RP ever.

No. Can’t force US to use a new comms lines tried that and ended up with a war.

mind blowing chat commands to prevent this

use "//" for ooc, instead of using "/ooc"
use "/oc" for open comms

another tip to not send accidental messages in open comms, when meant for ooc
read your message before sending it. i know reading is hard, but i believe you can do it!

Then don't use it? I'm suggesting more power to SC/GOC MAJ+/CI MCOM+ to manage their commslines to other factions. If you don't like a commsline, then you can forward to disable it to someone that isn't SL.

IIRC, this kind of thing has been denied in the past for reasons like "it making chat seem dead" and "ruining people's ability to spectate ongoing RP interactions" or something along those lines. I don't have the actual past suggestions in front of me. I think it is about time to resuggest this idea, and I backed it then, I'd back it now.

I love metagaming active RP scenarios that have nothing to do with me!
