This topic was made to suggest the
essential things that should be implemented, no matter what. Non-essential suggestions should be posted in substitutiary topic.
These suggestions are not casual suggestions, these carry the weight of the server and playercount.
- Approval system - we used to have it back in earlier versions of CTF, we already tried it before, but I didn't really like it since it creates a worse experience for VCMP newcomers, and since CTF is an official server alot of newbies end up joining the server. I dont think I will ever go back to an approval system
Back in the previous CTF servers, we didn't need them because there were no such strong hacks created. In latest aurora, it is said that it has a UID Spoofer / VPN attached in it so that players can ban evade easily. Which is why most of the players were complaining about hackers and the reason I suggest this is that most well known players also play underalias, not only newbies. So often we're misunderstood about the hackers and them and it results in rage, boycotting the server.
- Discord integration - I've avoided adding discord integration in the past because alot of server messages would cause discord to start imposing rate limits and temporarily ban the discord bot. Discord also used to have alot of server outages quite frequently, now it seems that discord is more stable, so I plan to add discord integration at some point, I just dont know when.
There are like atleast 10 servers which have their own personal bot created which does the job, they don't face such issues. There are surely people from your own clan, MK who can help you out like Spiller. He's done a very good job in creating the discord integration bot, you can take advice from him and perhaps make this possible together.
