[img']http://puu.sh/5wTaI/c09da0fbcc.jpg[/img] This actually sounds like a pretty cool idea; it wouldn't be in the way and admins who receive the message could quickly join the server if they wished to or not. 1 Link to comment

Anything besides that which has been mentioned doesn't really sound like a good idea however, since it'd most likely end up with someone/a bunch of people spamming them(of course a time limit could and should be implemented, on both these and the server to server), which would get really annoying if it was steam messages, chatbox messages and especially PMs. If it's possible for us to get/make a plug-in which enables this, I'd definitely say go for it. I mean the only problem is the time frames in which people can call for help which 10-15 minutes would be ideal. Also to avoid the entire server spamming every admin, it could have it so only 1-2 people can do it from one server, and it only reaches admins that are online. Link to comment

I don't see how having a bot post on the forums instead of the average person hopping on chatbox and saying "we need an admin" is going to encourage more admins to get on the servers when they are called. I do like the cross-server reporting idea that was brought up, however. Mapper's idea could also work if a decent amount of SA's express interest in setting up a Justice League of sorts among the ranks. The plugin that I was looking at not only supports a Steam bot that automatically messages admins when someone uses it, but also a desktop client that does the same. If enough admins are willing to opt into this program, I'll definitely look into it. Link to comment

EDIT: So far for the admins who want to join in on this idea, will show the higher-ups who's in for the players and who's in for the ranks. Just sayin' Edited November 30, 2013 by Zaraki Link to comment

Or do they? :troll: Link to comment
