/AFK & /DND

/AFK & /DND

I'd like to suggest two rather well-known commands from Warcraft III.

--- --- ---
Away from Keyboard

Commands:

/afk
/awayfromkeyboard
/away

Example:



You should also be capable of adding your own reason for being away from keyboard. As an example, look at the picture below.




So if someone sends you a whisper, they'd see something like this.




--- --- ---
Do not Disturb

Commands:

/dnd
/donotdisturb
/busy

When you are under the effect of /dnd, whispers will not show up in your chat log, until you exit your game or open F6. (If this is possible)
You will not hear any sounds of incoming whispers or messages.


Examples:

That's all I got! I hope you like the suggestions. If not, please post what you'd like to see different or alternative reasons.

Feedback would be much appreciated.

1. Read the rules.
2. Add pole.
3. Read the rules again.

Cannot see any pics (voted yes )

Would be rather useful, especially if the DND one stopped notifications from showing.

Yes, I thought of something like that. It'd be greatly appreciated by streamers, I am most certain of!
DND would also help them get rid of the pesty "OHI THAR!" comments they might get spammed.

Just so he stops whining on IRC, here's a bump.

I voted +1 on DND, unfortunately this vote will fail because you made it far too complicated with too many choices.

Pick either AFK or DND and Give people the option to vote "Yes I like this." or "No I don't like this"

I personally like DND over AFK because tbh, if i'm going AFK for long enough to have a message up i'm probably going to just close HoN. Also DND would serve more of a purpose, half the time I would use AFK in other games I would just use it as a /dnd anyways

WC3 definitely had the right idea with this.

I realize that some people might find this complicated. At first I intended to make this two separate topics, though I decided it might be a waste of space. I gave players the opportunity to actually base a vote on their actual opinion. Be they indifferent, or like you, caring for /DND - maybe they don't want any of them at all.
I personally do not see a problem with the options, but I will change it if necessary.

S2Games have most likely already such a feature on their to-do list, so let's just see what happens.
