Title: [++] Addition of Country Super Advert
Post by: Otto on 08 01, 2022, 09:32:36 pm
Hello, the idea is to add superadvert equivalent exclusive for your country, may not be useful for most countries but it will surely be useful for TR, EG, and TN players as the majority of players are from these three countries. About the pricing, it should work like the current superadvert pricing system which multiplies the amount of players that are able to see your advert and 100$ if I remember correctly.

Quoting Danzy's comment here as his comment provided essential information that my suggestion lacked

Gonna add some further details to help with development of this suggestion.

The chatbox message would look as follows: (<country> ADVERT) <playerName>: <message>
The '<country ADVERT>' would be colored based on what you made your "Country Chat Color" from /settings is set to, if nothing is set there, then the color would be the same as the current superadverts system.
And since multiple countries are combined together into one chat, that <country> would be replaced with the combined code and shown only to the people whose IP is inside those countries, and if it's not a combined country chat, it would just show their normal country and to the players inside that country.
(TRAZ ADVERT) would only be shown to Turkish and Azerbaijani players
(Ex-Yu ADVERT) would only be shown to Croatians, Serbians, Bosnians and Slovenians
(EN ADVERT) would only be shown to the English speaking countries like the UK, US, Canada
(EG ADVERT) would only be shown to Egyptians, you get my point.
Inside chat management GUI (for ICM and Staff) these should be listed as '<country> advert' so that we can take actions if necessary.

The cost for these adverts should not be the same as the current superadverts, rather it should cost like this <amount of players inside that country not AFK> * $150, this way adverting inside your country is cheaper since not as many players see the adverts.

The command for this should be /cadvert, the 'c' meaning 'country', the lack of 'super' inside that command is so that there's a lesser chance of someone mistaking /csuperadvert and /superadvert.

A setting to turn it off and on is also needed, just like the current superadverts.

It can be useful, cause lots of local group use the country chat to advert for groups. Moreover people can use there to trade or funny things. We can use it via -/csuperadvert. So my vote is  :tick:

Hello, Its a nice thing to have a country superadvert, in it you can type on your country language not only English, in the main superadvert other languages than English is not allowed, so the country chat superadvert will also help new players to understand and know things, it motivate them to do such things in the advert. Positive :tick:

Not only for these countries! My group based on Russian players, most of them don’t understand English language! Will be great if we can advertise on Russian! POSITIVE

as an ethno-nationalist I would like to be able to advertise my squad exclusively to people from my own country  :kek2:

Jk..On serious note I think this a good idea especially for groups and squads who are focused around a non English language
Positive  :tick: :tick:

This would be a superbly amazing idea, my country is often spammed either with stuff like trading or groups advertising, so why not?  :tick:

This will help alot. Some players find it hard to understand an advert within the English language. This will have the same concept  as the nonenglish support chat.

Who'll deal with it? Super adverts are made for everyone, even staffs can see it. So, whoever made a non-english advert (for example), he'll be muted straightway. But, the country super adverts...? You'll scarcely find a staff to deal with it. Or shall we keep reporting to whoever made an advert against the rules to the staffs? Isn't it a wastefulness of time...

The positives massively outweigh the negatives, sure it might take time to deal with people who breach rules using non English super adverts, but for players who lack English knowledge it's a huge deal to have something like this.

We can also add a 10 minutes cooldown after you've used superadvert before you can use cadvert and vice versa, a 10 minutes cooldown after you've used cadvert before you can use superadvert. Not to confuse it with its own cooldown before you can use the same command again which should be the same as superadvert with a tier system of DL0, 1, 2 and 3.

I added your comment to the first post, thank you for that

You'll scarcely find a staff to deal with it. Or shall we keep reporting to whoever made an advert against the rules to the staffs? Isn't it a wastefulness of time...

Well, it is true that people may advert punishable things there but you are talking as if we should remove all chats to prevent people from breaking the rules. There is nothing stopping the players from typing the exact same punishable line in their country chat also visible to their countrymates. This is basically for giving a non-English speaking players a chance to advertise whatever they wanted in the most understandable way they could. Of course some attention seekers will break the rules using this feature, but I can not think of anything to prevent it other than expecting players to report such players.

It can be useful but it can be misused too. I am suggesting that it can be turned on and off from the /settings.

Not an issue at all.
People have been speaking their non English languages every single day for over 11 years. Doesn't necessarily mean that there is an unattended demand for chat moderation. Country superadvert would make it 0% different.
People would be offended by a country chat line either way.

shall we keep reporting to whoever made an advert against the rules to the staffs? Isn't it a wastefulness of time...
Yeah report to staff or /report just like it's always been with country chat lol

make it /cadvert and prepare to see a lot of failed /cad entries.
make it /countryad instead

Well this is a good idea seriously.
It will be nice to use the normal superadvert and we
Can have a chance to use and /csuperadvert and write it with
Our language.
Ofc I support it  :tick:

this idea looks good, however I wonder can we use advert to neighboring country like ( Thailand - Cambodia - Laos , some surnames have the same language and vietnam? seems a bit different)  :cringe:

This will be really useful for trading, looking for countrymates, etc. Since I am using my country chat actively and people accidentally using super adverts for another language and this will be useful and will avoid accidents in my opinion.

Almost reasons players voting positive have been stated above already.   :tick:

It's just like a non-english advert chat, that allow us use other language in advert, without againsting the rules.
