Accepted [UK] The O5 Council Member's Signature

[Kaneki Fujimoto]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove?​

This is a Quality of Life (QoL) adjustment to the automated signature system for the O5 Council. Currently, signatures default to "Overseer [Name]." This suggestion would allow Council members (O5-1 through O5-4) to toggle their signature to a "Site Inspector [Number]" alternative.

This allows Overseers to have a more active "voice" in Foundation documentation without immediately revealing their true identity. While I considered including the US server in this change, their designation typically follows a "Site Inspector [Name]" format rather than a numbered one, so they remain separate for now.

---

Has something similar been suggested before?​

I am currently unsure if a similar toggle system has been proposed in the past.

---

Possible Positives of the suggestion:​

• Increased Efficiency: O5 Council members can sign off on their own documents and approvals directly, reducing the constant need for OSAs or Factotums to act as intermediaries.
• Operational Security: It allows the Council to participate in on-site projects, contracts, and agreements while maintaining their "shadow" status, preventing accidental information leaks in paperwork.

---

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:​

• Technical Complexity: There may be some confusion during the programming phase regarding how the toggle interacts with the existing signature script.

---

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?​

This change provides the O5 Council with the essential flexibility needed for high-level roleplay. It gives them the choice to either operate openly or "stay in the shadows" while still being able to sign off on daily documentation and site projects personally.

U.S. Overseer here, we also go by "Site Inspector [NUMBER]" at times.

Why would this just be a UK addition?

I dont think I could give a bigger +support if I tried.

Just to quickly ask, as I believe that with a suggestion like this it could be beneficial to allow for some more freedom, would there be any other formats that you believe would be beneficial for signatures of Overseers or ECMs?

Like a plug-in that allows each ECM or O5 to get a watermark that syncs with their character.

Remove the current Ethics & FCOM watermarks

Eg:

Kindest Regards, Site Inspector One

Secure. Contain. Protect.

or

Sincerely, Ethics Committee Member [Name]

Honestly just make it so O5 job can upload a png in place of a signature so they can customise their signature better :steamhappy:

 

[Tim Drake]

What about a complete customisation grid, allowing all players to have their own custom signatures

Maybe add one for IE and IPD.
