Turn NetworkManager’s messaging feature off indefinitely

Vouch. A million times vouch.

Vouch only if it is implemented in a way that unlike the current Essentials built in feature, they don't show up in admin cspy

I Vouch.

Vouch. The Essentials format is much, much, much more intuitive and better looking.

When it worked on NetworkManager, it had a really ugly looking design that wasn't pleasant at all to look at. I guarantee that most messages would fit on one line instead of two or three if it weren't for the server prefixes.

However, the Essentials format is far more compact and nicer looking. Most messages fit on one line and will usually only require 2 lines in rare circumstances.

Remember: the point of /msg is to communicate information between two parties, not to look super fancy.

↩  videogamesm12 Don't forget that NetworkManager's /msg allows cross-server communication between 2 parties.

neutral, i fucking hate NM's messaging but i also realize at some point it'll be more essential down the line when more servers are made

wish there was a best of both worlds here

As I've said before, we won't be doing this.

↩ @'Ryan' i've not seen the other threads where you said this - how come?

↩  Fleek in my time on the server from personal experience I have seen cross server messaging used by a banned player to annoy the fuck out of me from hub more than I've seen it used for any other purpose.

↩  Luke it was on the thread just after nm was added.

In short we have network manager and it's designed to replace these things, that with the fact it allows the cross server messaging means it's what I want folks using and the essentials commands will be removed / blocked in the future.

↩ @'Ryan' having a cross-server messaging system's useless if permissions are screwed.

↩  erin i think this is something important to note. theres no actual way to moderate NM messages or (to my knowledge) block people from messaging others and the likes and should be addressed i believe

↩  Tizz As far as I'm aware permissions work fine... If they don't then someone should report a bug.

↩  lyicx Does /msgtoggle work on the NM DMs or it's an Essentials command?

↩  Tizz i dont think it does.

If we're not going to disable it, I vote to remove the prefix that says what server the player is on. Yes, that makes it harder to find people, but the long text before the actual message is very impractical.

↩  StevenNL2000 easy to just change to "f-01" to at least make it simpler to read.

And allow to block certain servers or certain players or even have it so if you're banned from a server you can't message people who are on that server.

Apparently it's not easy, Ryan says he can't / doesn't want to make it shorter:
