Alright, I know we have a whisper command, but how about a shout command?
By shout, I donīt mean for someone to type and every single person in the game get the message, what I mean is the ability to shout into certain rooms, like if you want to invite everyone in a certain room to a map, but you cant enter because itīs full.
It could work like this:
/shout [room name] [message]

If this were implemented, there could also be a certain length of time that needs to pass before the person can shout again, like say 5-10 seconds, that way people couldn't abuse it too bad.
Or, perhaps instead of a set time between shouts, the person has to reach a certain rank, like specialist, before they can use the shout function.

I don't know...
It's pretty easy to get up ranks as long as you're not a complete n00b, and what about those dedicated users who only play custom games?
I can just see it being exploited as another way to spam, is all.

Not too bad of an idea, but its the random n00b spamming that makes me say "Nay." :(
