Forum group tags​

Brief Summary:

People to be affiliated with gangs on the forums

​

Detailed Suggestion:

I think that it should be an option to have a gang tag on the forums, Similar to police/poseidon, but without the access they bring. would allow for people to @ a whole gang if they want to communicate it to all, would also allow for group members to contact all gang members on forums.

E.g "I think @ground branch have had some great roleplay today"

think their should be an opt out feature or "mute" so that you dont get spammed if you dont want it.

I think this should be added the same way channel admins would be added on TS, would take a quick second to ask an admin to add someone to a gang forum tag, accepted by gang leaders only ofcourse!

The Pros:

would allow for people to recognise gangs as a whole for good/negative RP
gives better forum interaction.
allows for better communications within gangs on forums
Would allow for individual gang recognitions on forums

The Cons:

could lead to spamming on forums with group tags (but as suggested an opt out feature would avoid this)
could lead to hostile @'s

but obviously on the forums its easy to spot any abuse so these could be rectified.

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?

not a server suggestion, more a forum QOL for rebels

I think a discord tag too would be nice too

+1 Rate this idea, think it'd be pretty helpful across the forums to be fair.

Discord tag would have to be exclusive well set up gangs due to the fact it’s just a pain in the arse keeping on top of them. Maybe if you earn the right to get a uniform you can have a tag, too

I was assuming the forum tags would be for the established groups too

Obviously its just a suggestion which i think would be great, would love to hear dev opinion on how hard it would be to implement.

to see if benefits outweigh time/effort

Wrong section, forum suggestions would come under other (Moved)

We did previously have a group system (forum specific), however I believe that was removed due to low usage.

Also, I'm 99% sure custom tagging like that is not feasible on the forum platform
