So right now it's a mod only feature to warn otherwise unknowing players that mods are not to be asked certain things, and other small stuff...the actual writing;

Notice: Begging will be ignored. "How do get curseseal/SST/whatnot" will be ignored. If you are experiencing problems with the game, please use the 'Petition' link instead of contacting an admin directly.

Now comes my request. Allow this feature to be available to everyone. (Maybe even via dp? We were at one point talking about more dp stuff to add. Maybe at a cost of 250 or even 500 dp? Like the blog)

Anywho the staff's notice is like 203 letters. Can you make the max character limit 250 letters. (Including color codes)

I think it would just be handy in various cases, maybe my bio is full of quotes cause I like them, but at the same time I don't want a random person clicking on the mailbox and asking me for dp. Instead they will see the little notice;

Notice: Do not ask for dp, to join your clan, or to rp with you. On vacation till June 2017

Like that for those who buy it. Like I said not a lot of people check bios in my experience.

[Bocchiere]

Definitely a useful idea, one that I feel would get a lot of use.

[Ratatosk]

This sounds like a pretty good idea to have around, I will be in support of it.

[Styx]

Agrees with the aforementioned statement. 

[Thecurse]

I agree, I'm all for it. It'll be really useful.

[Ѕhadow]

Seems everyone wants this implemented. Still wondering if you all agree on the dp cost or want it for free?

[Nathan]

I'm for it. I vote it replaces the blog option since no one seems to buy that anymore. You could make the blog option free instead.

[Ѕhadow]

I don't think it should replace or switch with anything.

Unless you're a mod... Are they really going to care even if there is a notice right above the typing box? You can get in trouble for begging a mod for certain things, but there is no penalty other than irritation backlash for begging the average player, unless it's highly inappropriate.

I see this more as an opportunity to just have something appear above your bio stating whatever you type into it. Which could be a wide variety of things.

Not all people are that rude, Eric. Some will actually read and decide against asking them if they put that there. The sole purpose isn't just to list what not to ask for. It's also for notices like: inactiveness, on vacation, currently being leveled by a friend, ect.

Also it doesn't appear above your bio. Where are you getting that? It will appear whenever someone goes to mail you.

I had meant above the place where folks would type, not bio. I should have proofread that a little better.

Anyways, the "rude" ones are the ones who would ignore it in your bio, while the newer, unsuspecting newcomers might would not bother with checking your bio before PMing you as they wouldn't know the drill. I have not put such a notice in my bio and I rarely if ever get requests for DP. Perhaps putting it there is the equivalent of being asked.

Status updates, imho, are what the bio are for. If people don't take the time to read at least the SL bio that you put up, then if they are waiting weeks for a reply and you gave fair warning in your bio, then all's fair in ques.

In short, it's not about rudeness, it is either about carelessness or newcomerness, the latter of which shouldn't be too irritating anyways since they're newbies and don't know any better. I'm having a hard time understanding the need for this being implemented.

[Lazy Oogakari, Steel]

I want this option.

[Raifudo Oppa]

If they don't read your bio, why do you think they'd read/care about what your disclaimer says? They're obviously just trying for DP.

Also, I wouldn't call it lazy. Lazy indicates they have to do that as a prerequisite to messaging you. They have the ability to message without going through your profile.

One thing against it:

I would have to make the mod-message much more obvious, as anybody could now copy the message and put it as bio... hence impersonating a mod.

That's a bad thing.

I'm glad we've come to the consensus that impersonating others is a bad thing.

That being said could it be made so that the non-mod notices are by default another color and cannot be changed?
