Yell Needs Some Touch-Ups

Don't get me wrong, ::Yell is a great command to have, but I think it needs to be polished up a bit.

1.) Idk if this is possible or not, but since "::yell insert text here" is a bit long to type, it would be much easier to just type this in: "/Insert Text Here." This would make yelling a whole lot easier and faster. It's not a BIG DEAL, but it would be great to have.

2.) The color of the text needs to be changed. It blends in with the other texts that's going on. + changing it to a different color would make it look much more neater.

Here's an Example
--------------------

As you can see, whenever someone yells (but in this case says something in CC) the text is a different color, making it look much more neater.

3.) Having Yell Moderators would also be great. This would avoid spammers, flaming, and the annoyance in yell.

Plural, please take this into consideration. If you don't, I really don't mind because ::Yell is just an awesome command to be able to use.

Support(:

And there should be command to turn of this yell. I don't care this yell, this only disrupts.

I agree with all the above suggestions, I think people should have a choice to view Yell or not and also,I agree that it should be moderated to prevent spam and allow people to keep in touch with other players.

Support with all of your suggestions.

actally, funny story, im the only client coder on here, and server side only handles "::"

Aww man, any chance that you can change the color of the text in yell?
+ promote people to be yell mods? I mean I wouldn't be a bad yell mod just saiyann

way to much emphasis being made on something like yell. I'd much rather have him work on things like quests.

but regardless still not a bad idea.
