-1, if there was a spelling mistake in the contract somewhere a user could be "my name wasn't there, i didn't agree to that" and not repay a loan or something. The tagging is a way to avoid this. Without tags mods would have to look for spelling mistakes in names, which is more difficult than spotting missing "@"s. And in my opinion putti @ infront of names isn't really difficult.

 

+1 I'd like to see more of the series "Things Nicit meant to do but didn't".

 

-1 This ^
Also, I mean most people use in-game contracts anyways. Personally I think contracts just clutter up the forum and time and effort would be better spent stressing how to take proper in-game contract evidence. But if contracts are kept, I think it's best to keep it air tight and tagging all the names ensures that.

 

-1 This is a waste of time, and this is gonna screw someone over...

 

I thought about suggesting this at one point xD

I agree. No reason to tag a million times when you only get one alert. Plus, if you misspell one name or something, the Moderators should catch that when reviewing contracts.

Also, the "what if" scenarios are still "what ifs" until they happen. You can what-if yourself to death and never do a thing. Only if it becomes a PROBLEM when implemented does it become bad. Quite frankly, someone gets "screwed" because of this change, a complaint can be filed for contract abuse.

+1.

 

Not sure how I stand on this. I don't really belive the tagging itself is necessary, but it does make it easier to spot names in a contract or notice where they're missing. From a Moderator standpoint I'm going to have to disagree with this. -1 Sorry @Nicit6 lol <3

 

If you agree to a contract and the name is spelled wrong and you don't follow through with the deal because of the misspelled name you should be banned for attempted scamming.

Even if this was implemented I would still tag everybody involved. -1

Also contracts on the forum are probably last on my list of things that are even remotely broken on ECC

 

I don't see how this is that bad of an idea.... it should be pretty simple to just say both people's names once and then be done with it. +2030 from me.

 

+1 techy's response didn't disappoint.

If you miss one or two taggings then it's not a big deal, however it shouldn't be pointed out with such zeal like today's policy.

 

Please let others have there own opinion if its valid. Just because we dont agree doesnt mean we are not thinking. Maybe you should be doing what you are preaching.

Dont fix what aint broke?
Pretty sur ive been told this for lot of things to do with ECC suggestions, including from Nicit if i remember correctly.

In the great words of Nicit on another suggestion:

Doesnt this remind you of contracts? xD

 

It is broken though... You're actively wasting time on something so useless. And comparing two unrelated things to each other (Town bans and contracts) is a silly thing to do.

I literally don't see what's hard about having staff click the edit button and just getting rid of the tagging requirements... Takes like 2 minutes max. lol

 

So you are relating time wasting to something being broken?
Cause something that wastes your time doesn't make it broken bud lol

If your going by things that are time wasting are broken, then we might as well get rid of the contracts on the forums in general then.
Cause they take too long to do when you dont actually have to do them. You could do one on the server.

 

2 minutes to fix something that's broken and wastes countless players time isn't worth it and is "wasting time"??? I fail to see how that's so.

I already explained why contracts are necessary. They're much more cleaner and make things easier for the parties involved and are easier for staff also in the case of a scam. Moderators will make sure your agreements are valid and all you need to do is show evidence of payment and such. This ensures more safety for players.
