buddy command suggestions

Apr 30, 2008 Roda Slane link
Since this thread my be used by others for additional suggestions for the buddy command, and suggestions from many authors may be referenced often, I suggest each suggestion be tagged. cb.xx.y ( command buddy . author id . number ). I will reserve author code .rs.

cb.rs.1 /vote mute should only restrict outgoing buddy invite. Buddy note (in both directions) should bypass any mute.

cb.rs.2 Ability to hide your location from buddies.
cb.rs.2.1 Switch to hide your location, on a per buddy basis. On by default
cb.rs.2.2 global switch to hide your location from all buddies. Does not alter states of cb.rs.2.1, but has a higher priority. Off by default.

cb.rs.3 A method to retrieve and store a log of buddy notes, both incoming and outgoing.

Buddy notes bypassing the mute would allow muted players to continue harassing/spamming people.

Only those whom they were buddies with...

Good point.
Right now it is possible to /buddy note anyone online even if they aren't your buddy though.

Yeah, but if they ain't your buddy, its just PM's them (or if your buddy is online, it just PM's them). So this would not work for buddies that are online? Sounds useful! :P

Technically it's not just a PM.

I don't know about buddy noting people that aren't your buddies, never tried it, but as of a few months ago you could buddy-note your buddies and send buddy invites to people while muted.

As for the rest of the suggestions, just unbuddy your buddies if you're so damn paranoid about people finding your super-special roid. Goddamn miners.

Thank you for bringing this issue to light slimer.

cb.rs.1.1 outgoing buddy note should always work for people on your buddy list, but otherwise be subject to vote mute.

I propose that the fact that geisha is against the other suggestions, is evidence of their positive value.

and... in order to identify buddies on your list that are likely to never return online (so you can delete them)...

cb.rs.5 have the buddy list indicate buddies that are of accounts that are not accessible and the date it was last accessible(the trial time expired or the account stopped paying).

Just adding my vote for cb.rs.2 through cb.rs.2.2.

Uneasy diplomatic relations make this a necessity.
