Brief Summary:
Change Discord #auctionroom to a webhook channel, so that posts within it are adverts submitted from a UI in game. Perhaps further expand this to a noticeboard to allow more than just selling.
Detailed Suggestion:
My thought is seeing that FiveM posts have a strict criteria to what can be posted, a UI could be implemented in game to allow you to submit adverts (perhaps at a small fee - £1k?) which I think could be colour coded to signify types;
- Buying
- Selling
- Event
- Service
The Discord Auctionroom is currently an exception to the rule for using OOC information within game and I know conversations have occurred in the past in debating what can or cannot be used as information from Discord. I see advertisements for roleplay events, such as street racing, appear on the Discord which doesn't fit #auctionroom but then could be OOC information your character then uses - this isn't a bad thing as it's encouraging roleplay.
IRL you have access to the internet and your social media 24/7 (or at least most will), yet when you're not on the server you're cut off to things going on - I feel roleplay events could better be advertised through this noticeboard but again is an advert pointing you towards then doing something within the game, not discussing outside of it on the public discord.
Here is a 2 minute slapped together design of the idea I had.
The Pros:
Prevents conversation within the channel (as can be read only)
Design would mean it remains consistent and thus easy to read.
Prevents persons private messaging the posters Discord accounts to negotiate out of game, thus encouraging the conversation to continue in RP via the contact method provided.
The Cons:
@Paintwill have another UI to make
Will still require some level of moderation to ensure what is posted is appropriate
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
I do not believe so. This will make some interactions harder if the person isn't in game, however I feel that isn't good anyway. This is a means of pointing the individual back into the game to continue the conversation there.
We do not have an in-game app that better manages this and seeing as #auctionroom functionality seems to work okay thus far, it seems a good idea to expand on it's functionality and how it works.
Only impact it may have is of course Malden Life share it (albeit don't recall seeing a post in there about Malden in a long time) so a seperate channel just for Malden Life may need to be made if required.
