ingame voting mechanic

[Desecration]

Hmm. Does sound like a lot of work to manually sum up suggestions every time to present them with more details in a message in game, as well as coding a feature to up/down-vote said suggestions from ingame.

Reading this I immediately thought of our existing mail system, which isn't used much, but informs you every time in lobby if you have new mails. We could use said mail system to (automatically) send ingame mails to active users to inform them about forum news, VIP events and suggestions.

I feel like this might get abused/spammed by certain people. We already have people spamming chat when an argument gets heated. Maybe some kind of shout command? Actually maybe the mass mailing might be better since it's something you're able to completely ignore rather than seeing it in chat.

I don't think ANYONE uses the mailing system lol.

Why not just advertise the current suggestion that you've made in game chat, server chat, lobby, etc? Similar to when people advertise their twitch links.

The voting mechanism could also be implemented on forums (where its probably a lot easier to do), and ingame would just include something along the lines of "Check out this new suggestion that might interest you, and voice your opinion at {link}!", in the mail.

In the past, we had a voting system for suggestions on forums, but it was removed with V8, and also wasn't really used to consider suggestions because most suggestions arent a simple "yes" or "no".

The character limit in GunZ is already short enough. Unless there's a hyperlink feature implemented into chat.


Why not just have an auto message everytime you log in mentioning the forums website/encouraging your suggestions?

"Don't forget to be a part of our community at *link*. We also encourage your feedback and suggestions over on the forums as well!"
