Green admin Tags

[Sammie]

Hey,

Can we have the green admin tags back for admins, like we had on pG? It was the easiest way to see if somebody had special permissions. Also, it would open a way for full members without admin training to not be green, if you want that in the future.

[eGO] <GREEN
[eG] < GREEN
[e] < not green
Name not green aswell!
Only tagletters are green (DS still have their colors)
Red for leadership+

Make only the username colored but give DS their own color for their tag

E - nothing
DS - BLUE
EG - GREEN
EGO - etc. Etc.

Ds doesnt need a color since they can change the color already on source games

Yeah and that's the problem of impersonation maybe revoking letting DS change their tag color to not cause confusion. DS is already more powerful than junior

How is DS more powerful then an eG that can kick and silence any player they can target

This statement is false since all DS has is chat stuff and !store/!vip. but if your talking about on pg servers eG still has more power even though DS has the vote kick/ban since an eG can instantly kick if needed also the gag/silence/mute commands. Impersonations couldnt happen if you only change the color of the tags not the whole name. What i was really talking about tho was changing the color of the tags only on score board which DS cant do

I definitely want this, it was a good side cosmetic when becoming an admin. It also had a clean and simple design. The only problem I see with this is the possible interference with dedicated supporter. I dont know how it would work if you have you name set to a color and if you would want it or not. But it would be a nice thing to have.

If you go back through the posts on the past few pages, we sorta discussed that a bit

We had this back in Prestige Gaming. It'd be great if it gets implemented.

I could incorporate this into the upcoming Maul2 update for Garry's Mod if you so desire.

Admin Tags

Admin tags are a huge part of what distinguishes regular players from people with admin powers. Basically back at pG admin tags were colored in order to discern admins themselves. It would be very useful in the long run imo. Not only does this completely stop impersonators, but it makes it easier for players to see the responses of admins if they were to use the public chat (which more often than not new players do) rather than using admin chat. I wouldn't consider this that high of a priority if it does get considered at all because it isn't that game breaking, and I completely understand that tech team does have more pressing matters at the moment, but it would be very convienent and a nice change overall.

Here are examples of the tags we had at pG:
-pg- Light Souls (recruits never had colored tags but I don't believe its necessary)
[pG] Light Souls
=[pG]= Light Souls
and lastly advisors had their own red colors to distinguish themselves from admins (just in case if you needed help from an advisor ingame instead of contacting some other way that may take longer (i.e Teamspeak or CL)
=[pG]= Light Souls

Gmod currently has this already. Tf2 should have it as well, if i'm correct?

 

[Simon]

This has been suggested and discussed a bit - not sure where the thread is, should be in here, but it was well supported.

I always liked the aspect of players being able to clearly see who is an admin on our servers. Sometimes if a new player asks a question in public all chat admins reply without using PM's. Having this would allow players to see the response easier.

It also made us admins feel extra special

 

[sopheyy]

This added with "I'm not trained" and "I'm trained" colors, would be great too.
I know that I personally suggested this a while back, but I haven't pressed for it more, since I have personally become more comfortable admining on both TTT and Jailbreak.

I do think that it should still be something to consider.

I actually kind of miss my colored [pG]. It was also a thing that helped distinguish trained versus non-trained admins as it wasn't a requirement in Prestige Gaming to be trained to admin upon promotion by "opting" out of it. But irregardless, the colored tag will always be helpful in distinguishing player versus admin to the "uninitiated"

 

[Divine]

Please bring it back. We need this back.

What they said sums up this suggestion. Everything the original post said and also the fact that trained admins' tags should be green and non trained admins should not.

I really hope this can be discussed in the meeting tomorrow. @CSLeadership
