Credit Approval changes

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion is to change how the approval "system" we have for crediting as currently you cannot deny credit and will eventually hafto approve all credit regardless of your intention with a singular "!approveall" command in chat

This suggestion suggests the suggestive nature of adding a new UI popup on the side of your screen that looks like a sit ui but modified to not have staff related buttons as this will only be a feature given to those who can / should be approving credits. i made a shitty example picture that took 5 minutes but it gets the job done in showing what i have intended.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Doubtful

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- More control and information given to allow credit to be properly managed which could be a great start in stopping credit spammers that have no intention of doing the role they are getting playing to get XP for.
- less chat spam which is always a good thing.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- This would probably require an amount of coding / programming which could be tedious
- more UI like this could ruin the sense of RP

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
as a Senior clearance 4 credititing often spams the chat which has a negative effect on communication espesially those who have and / or play in a lower resolution.

Some very valid points being brought up here, however moving potential spam from chat onto the screen as UI instead isn't necessarily a great idea. Maybe hide this away in a menu like with document approval? And use DarkRP notifications to notify that credits are awaiting approval?

Could be resolved by creating a system where only jobs connected to the jobs being credited get the notification IE medical would only get approved by medical lead n so on so forth n what not.. this doesnt really fix ur concern for site admin without taking away their "control of everything" but yknow its still an idea that could be adapted maybe

This is already a feature. Execs/DOR only gets research credits, and not MTF credits for example.
