I made a thread like this a while ago and I'm sure that others have too in the past but I still think this would be a good idea. Last time a posted I was in a rush and didn't supply enough details to make it seem all that great (in fact almost 10 people had a "heated debate" about it for about 5 pages long discussing everything BUT the topic) so here I go. (By the way if you think this idea sucks give me a REASON, SUGGESTION or IDEA of how to make it better to avoid and "heated debates" between anyone else in the forum) Whisper Chat Feature: Last time I suggested this idea I simply said that if you typed in "@[Username Here] [Message Here]" if would send in a whisper chat to the person mentioned in the '@' symbol. THIS TIME THOUGH I suggest that the whisper chat only be available to people who are friends with each other and instead of the '@' mentioning, it should be click to message via the leader-board just as you would send a friend request in-game and once the player has selected 'whisper to:' the chat bar would open up just as you would type a normal message, but when you press enter to send the message, only the player it was sent to can see it with a notification at the beginning of the message indicating it was a whisper (Similar to the '(TEAM)' notification but instead looking like '(WHISPER)' or '(WSPR)' or something) To prevent this feature from being abused, the creator of a specific game should be able to enable/disable the whisper feature in the game configuration page just like they would enable/disable bubble chat Mute Feature: If someone is annoying you should be able to mute them via clicking their name on the leader-board and selecting mute. Simple as that. The mute feature could be brought out-of-game to prevent certain people from messaging you, ect. but still allows you to read their forum posts. To prevent this feature from being abused, the mute button should NOT WORK BOTH WAYS. Example: If I mute someone, I can't see their in-game messages, but they can still see mine. (To prevent unwanted whisper chat abuse by simply muting everyone besides the dude you want to talk to) +++++++++++++++++ END OF PRESENTATION +++++++++++++++++ And I swear to god the next person to say "TROLOLOLOLOL THIS IS SCRIPT-ABLE!!!!1 DUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRR" can go die in a hole. This is the kind of feature that should be in all games IMO so the convenience factor of this update would be extremely AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!
