To start off incase you didn't know ocomms were recently restricted to certain jobs. This makes things pretty complicated during events or RP scenarios for those who this change effected. My fix is simple, instead of a command like /me which is local to people around you seeing, a 2nd command /act should be added in addition to /me that will message all GMs along with staff if need be.

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adding /act to message GMs during RP

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No because this change was recent

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Allows people who were effected by the change to participate properly in events
Replacing the whole server seeing people's actions to prevent metagame

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Potential of people misusing it but that could simply be solved by adding a cooldown to it and staff moderating the actions

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This additional command will help assist all players no matter the rank in participating in events.

imo it might be better if GMs were able to toggle on/off seeing all /me messages globally, maybe with options like all/within a certain range/specific players/a faction/etc.

Then if they're running an event, they can see what everyone's doing and react to it without being right next to them or them having to go out of their way to make it extra visible. Or if they're looking for things to do, they can turn it on for all and look for interesting RP to enhance or something.

I think that might just complicate things more. /act would literally just be to replace people doing /oc [act] during events. Not much changing

Good in theory, but:

SGMs get access to a lot of chat bloat and so does HGM, adding more notifications to a chat for staff/SGM+ to get bombarded with will cause headache.

Now this could be fine with a toggle like the ooc stuff sure and I absolutely agree would minimalize any metagaming but without any toggle I would generally get quite annoyed at additional chat bloat.

+Support IF a toggle is possible
-Support if not.

Sure I would support a toggle but the old chat bloat messaged the entire server besides like d class when people wanted to use actions during events.
