/staff

One paragraph minimum... but the suggestion is simple. We add a command which is /staff.

What does this command do? Returns the display names of the "Online Staff" section of the F4 menu.
 

Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] Currently it's required that one has to go to the F4 menu to see who all would be available for a sit. When you're waiting on someone to take an urgent sit, it's tedious to go to the F4 menu and see the names of every staff member who would potentially be available for you in your time of need. Additionally, this would help staff who are online see who all else would be available (if they aren't AFK) to assist them before taking a break or requesting help in the staff discord without needing to navigate menus.

I know some will say "this isn't important" and "it's not a priority" (even though they have absolutely no clue the prioritization of the development/update team) but from a programming standpoint, simply adding it as a ticket to be worked on eventually would suffice. DarkRP is currently undergoing quite a lot of updates and adding another idea to the fray isn't harmful.
 

Additional Information: The only thing to fear is fear itself.

so in the f4 menu theres a spot where you can see what staff are available to take sits right?
please god make it so if a staff member doesnt move for like 5-20 or smth minutes then they get taken off of that list, because there could be 11
different staff online but only 1 or 2 of them will actually not be afk and taking sits

	Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] make people not have a fucking stroke when NOBODY IS TAKING THEIR GOD FORSAKEN FUCKING SITS

	Additional Information: nyuh uh

Merged the suggestions as they pertain to the same topic or have very similar elements.

I like both of these suggestions.

 

As Shank mentioned, having a quick command would allow for a quick reference, and they could also bind it if they wanted to - which is useful for both players and staff alike. People can still use the menu if they prefer of course, but I think a lot of people would like the idea of a quick command.

 

And as Computer mentioned, it should only display staff who are active to give a true and accurate indication of who may be able to help. For staff this would make sure someone is always free, allowing them to check who else is active; and for players it means that if it's taking a minute or two for their report to be claimed, they can see only a couple of staff are actually active and handling reports (instead of showing maybe 8 staff online where 6 may be AFK) to handle expectations and avoid player frustration.
