/SEACOMSHOUT (SUBJECT) Command: *All Server-Wide Shout Threads Compiled Here*

[Anathiel]

I didn't get too far into reading the responses to the OP. But, the OP itself is an amazing idea. I wouldn't mind hearing something back from the dev's as to whether this is feasible. And I don't mean to go off-forum here, but have you thought aboput posting an idea like this on the ff:xiv forum? Aren't they revamping the search system? and well they have more resources...but yeah this idea rocks socks.

Any kind of global chat channel needs a strict time limit on repeat usage, say 5 mins. That would cut out most spam chat and make it more of a worlwide bulletin system for PuG content. As hard as it may be to implement it's either that or everyone will be forced into port jeuno forever.

I think Square more than anything fears spammers being reported and having to be dealt with by the undermanned GM team, they almost always counter stuff that leads to that.

True indeed, but if the ability to use a command like /shoutfilter (player name) and toggle each /seacom channel OFF could be used, it may be possible to ease some of that policing. Unfortunately, even with a timer on messages, in the world of MMORPG's there's no escape from the randomness of what folks might want to say while online lol. Honestly, current /shouts could see a pretty noticeable decline over time if such a system as I'm suggesting could be possible. There would still be /shouts of course, just perhaps lost less since folks wouldn't be huddled into cities anymore to hear them lol. Standard /shouters would have to get with the times and tap into the new way of reaching people.

/kneel ^^ Thanks for the feedback /salute

I'm a bit out of the loop on all things XIV ^^; other than watching a few videos on youtube about it. If it actually holds some weight in terms of being usable to the Devs, more power to it! lol

thanks again /

**Edit to the OP**
----------

*Description of how the /seacomshout's inner workings could possibly be designed.
----
Examples added:
*The Master Linkshells
-----
*Making Clones
-----
*Deleting Clones

[kingfury]

There probably is a limit to how many linkshells can be on each server. There is already a limit on the number of linkshells which can be created each day.

A system like that may as well just be people creating linkshells and calling them EXP1, EXP2, EXP3, etc. That's pretty much what it comes down to. And if that's what people want, they may as well do it right now with the current linkshell system.

^^ Well GreatG., with the newly added description of the possible inner workings, would it be something you could deal with? Now that you see that it's not the "same thing" as a standard /shout system concept which is what I'm assuming made you say no thanks in the beginning.
