Ingame Admin Status Icon

[darkneon2002]

Suggestion Name: Ingame Admin status icon

Suggestion Description: I suggest adding an admin status icon. When pressing TAB to get the menu there will be an icon indicating if there is ANY admin on duty on the current server.

Possible statusses would be:

Green - Atleast 1 admin on duty

Red - No admin on duty

Grey - Forbidden for user to see (due to bans received in the past)

Could also be disabled until you do a few positive reports (report offenders) or a certain amount of time or km's logged.

Any example images: 

Why should it be added?: This way truckers can better decide to make a report in game or on the website or not. This could reduce the backlog when an admin comes online. This might have a positive effect on trucker behavior. Icon could be disabled to players that received bans in the past to avoid them to misbehave only when no admins are online. An admin will only be on duty when logged in and treating reports.

 

Disabling the icon once someone received a ban wil avoid using for benefits.

Unknown/New griefers cannot be stopped or avoided anyway

But seeing an admin online status will increase the security feeling for the good players.

Although this sounds good on paper, it's the exact reason the command /admins is disabled for normal players.

Information about online administration is generally kept behind closed doors, because trolls will abuse it and go on a trolling spree when they see that there isn't an admin on at the moment.

Hi there,

 

We don't wish to show when there is admins online as it will encourage trolls to do their work when admins aren't online. All it also takes is for any person to tell a troll if someone is online or not.

 

For this reason, I am going to reject your suggestion.

 

Thank you.
