In-game Notice of Admin/Player Meets

I like the not many people, little spam method

It is not a method.
It is misrepresentation. Your idea requires maturity beyond what we, as a community, can bring forward. Or have you forgotten the admin meets where the loud shouting of 3 - 4 people convinced admin that there was a broad community majority for a few rather targeted updates..

Never involved with those ones no.

Not sure what you mean. I believe the IRC meet for mods and admin still goes on. But not being a moderator (due to inactivity for a while) I wouldn't expect to be permitted to go :p

I meant, are there not mods that are on IRC that could handle most of the spam posts during the admin meet? Last time i checked there was a whole chain of command on there, and i'm pretty sure 99% of the time no one goes on until an admin meet....

Yes, there is.
You would need to talk to Haz or Paul about it, though. They are opers and admins, I believe.

Unfortunately I am rarely around for admin meets due to work hours and the times of the meeting, but I can definitely set admins/mods of the forum (or even pre-elected users if needed) as ops of #theplace and teach them certain commands for crowd control (kicking and banning problem users, muting the channel and only allowing those with certain modes set being able to talk at a time).

But looking at logs, I've yet to see too many spam-filled meetings.

admin meets are posted in there times, is that really so hard? Dont be lazy, its not the admins or forum mods responsibility to remind people that an admin meet is in progress, its there if u want to go to it, the admin sets time aside for the most part to be there. IF you dont show up, obviously your problem ISNT THAT SIGNIFICANT. However for the people in different time zones I dont know what to say about that, there is no resolution in my option, just try to get into one i suppose.

You can't forget though, not all users go on the forums, they don't all know of its existence, when it is, or how to get it working (which is turning into more of an artform now since it trips up 40% of the time).

That's commonly just the user needing to install Java to get the chat working.

Of course, but there is hardly a readily available guide. I guarantee about 50% of the forum community wouldn't know what java is.

I think there is a guide somewhere in the IRC section, if not, I'll make one

The section in the forum, the very same forum i mentioned above about not all users go to the forum? In fact quite a large chunk wouldnt.

I can link them to it here Or if admin were to agree, I can write a tutorial for java, which can then be linked to in the suggested notification for meetings

Also, while there isn't a java tutorial, there is one for mIRC right here (warning to low bandwidth users).
