Website.

Hmm. Well there should be a section to chat. E.g One tab will say Avicus network then private 1 on 1 chats group private chats so and so.

JKawesome October 9, 2014 at 8:10 AM UTC

Can't wait for this! It will be very useful, since some people don't have Skype but are very active on the forums.

Howsie October 9, 2014 at 8:10 AM UTC

Pretty sure he has my list on the admin planning doc

The PM System sounds good but why not actually have a place where it shows what staff is online? Like "Avicus.net/onlinestaff" instead of searching all day on the LeaderBoards or forums or the staff page to see who is on? I think this would be useful to players looking for mods to help them with reports.

I totally agree with SethSkye. We need a section of the forums in which we can check if there are any staff members online. Also, the button where you can add people as a friend needs to be implemented.

Instead of emailing him, could we post our suggestions here, and you link it to ivy?
If so:
Implement the friend button, players can PM all their friends and staff. Staff can PM anyone. Sr.Mods+ can see all PMs. Also, it would be great if a forum chat was added, where you click "online users" and another window opens up where you can chat with everyone, mods+ having perms to kick or tempban people from the chat ^-^

This will all be on the new website when its released

The search bar please :c It will be sooooo much easier to find maps this way >_<
The PM system sounds fantastic as well, I am looking forward to it ^_^

How will you prevent players from harassing eachother on PM? I mean, we already see it in-game and on the forums.

I am sure that Directors will be able to see peoples messages if required. It is the same on any forum. In any case the person being abused could always screen shot the behaviour and report it.

I personally don't want Sr.Mods listening in on what I say. I would rather have Managers+ only.

Use site:avicus.net <query> in google

The forums is starting to remind me of Facebook. :O

I wouldn't really want anyone to read my messages, what's the purpose of calling it (Private) Messages when it won't be private?

badgg October 9, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

A page which shows online staff. This would help me a lot ;)

They wouldn't/shouldn't however it is important that they have control over that.. In every single forums, minecraft or not related, the terms and conditions you sign when you join the forums include that you give permission for admin to access all your messages and whatnot. 

It doesn't mean they would nor should they really but it is to cover themselves in case an instance of "he said she said" etc etc happens.

even facebook can look at all your messages if they so please. Naturally they do not though. It is just one of those things :P

ProfessorUtonium October 9, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

I have another idea. Why not make a page that shows peoples youtube and avicus videos on a page like avicus.net/AvicusVideos
or avicus.net/avicuschannels

Phobiaxx October 9, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

 +1 Or maybe just edit the staff page so online mods have a green [online] tag on their user name ^-^

SnowSX3 October 9, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

Maybe have a PM system on the profile?
Under the "search players" bar?

Numberz_ October 9, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

Another thing could we make a maps topic or section like ocn to show what maps are playing?

Joao_Victor October 10, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

Here's my take:

I don't think any staff should be able to view the conversation unless it is reported with a report button, then Senior Staff+ get access to the convo.

And yes, friends will be implemented back again, it's been added to the beta website already.

winterice123 October 10, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

Plz no image sending. Keep hosting off dis site plz. While this is a very, very far stretch, a slippery slope even, it might be possible that nudes are exchanged, and considering most these people here be underaged you dont want that liability know what i mean?

That's extremely unlikely...

winterice123 October 10, 2014 at 12:10 AM UTC

That's extremely unlikely...
That's wot I'm saying, but like if it does this website would be responsible for hosting it. While im not sure about actual laws, it would get messy if anyone actually pressed charges...
Like I said, not that likely but still, I think it'd be better if it was off site images.

Don't think Avicus would be liable if that ever happened.

Aight nvm I guess laws don't apply to it. 
But then what you gonna store all the messages and images exchanged on? How much space is being cleared fer it?
Also why is the link avicus.net/cough ?

TOS = Terms of Service

What do you mean by storing the messages, like the database?

winterice123 October 10, 2014 at 1:10 AM UTC

Yeah man, I mean where are you gonna physically store the messages server side so that they can be viewed client side? Like, obviously it's not gonna be blank every time you go into the interface, and I assume it's going to be somewhat like skype. So where are you gonna store all these images and messages for further access?

Also tos is cough in spanish XD. Just had a mental lapse i suppose

ImJeezus October 10, 2014 at 1:10 AM UTC

Instead of an ingame PM system we get a website one

Ok....

There is a PM system. Add friends on old.avicus.net so you can PM them or use /bukkit:tell

FirstSintax October 10, 2014 at 2:10 AM UTC

I like this

SnowSX3 October 10, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC

Maybe instead of having a page, we could have a section somewhere above or under the "Online Players" area that has the names of online staff that are on the servers? This would be more easier and convenient than a separate page, because it'll always be on the left side of the forums.

Eklip_Z October 10, 2014 at 5:10 AM UTC

Forum messaging system would be great (if not already planned.) And maybe a more convenient server messaging system instead of having to be friends which the player, I know about /bukkit:tell but that command doesn't like the tab auto fill.
