What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion adds a target confirmation display to administrative commands like !goto, !bring, !slay, etc. Similar to how /pm [Name] shows you who you're messaging before you send it, these commands would now display the name(s) of the player(s) who will be affected before the command is executed. This provides a final confirmation step for staff members.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I could find on the forums.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
  1. Improved Player Experience: This change would prevent players from being accidentally affected by staff commands. It eliminates situations where a player is mistakenly teleported, cloaked, or otherwise impacted by a staff action not intended for them, which can be disruptive and break immersion.
  2. Reduced Staff Stress: Staffing/Gming requires some quick actions sometimes that leave little room for making sure you are targeting the right people, which can be a little sressful. This suggestion would eliminate that stress.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
  1. Development Time: The relevant administrative commands might be part of a core addon or plugin that isn't easily customizable. Implementing this feature could require significant development effort, potentially more than it appears on the surface.
Based on the Positives&Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This should only be accepted if it does not require a huge amount of development time, as it is not a critical issue that is killing the server, but rather just a feature that improves player and staff experience in relatively limited cases.

you're supposed to target with steamIDs instead of mispelling their ic name
this is just a skill issue
not worth the development time

I mean sure, but it’s still a good QoL feature anyway. And this response doesn’t consider stuff like targeting multiple people like during events, it would be nice to know if there is someone that shouldn’t be getting something during an event or training. Although I don’t think it’s worth the dev time, still something that would be nice to see from a staff and GM POV.

Ngl, I read this and was like "hold up, Site Admin and Command able to target people? That's actually really cool! Like what's this gonna be, like targeting CI in RP by setting a personel tablet target by some in character means, or setting a specific person from a list for arrest by ISD/AO? I can't wait to see what this is about!"

Then I read it and realized you meant actual admins not like in character leadership. Much less cool but reasonable.
