    Suggestion: Making the Staff Requests into a form that you fill out and submit.

    Reason:
    I believe that making LWC Removal and Trade Sign Removal Requests a form would really benefit the players and staff members.

    Let me convince you.
    In the Staff Request rules, it gives you a format. I cant be too hard to turn that into a form.

    Here's why it would benefit the players -

    It would make for quick and easy requests (saves them from going back to the rules to copy the format). This would be especially good for those who have read the Staff request rules and don't wish to click back on it, copy it, paste it and then fill it out.

    This would also make it quicker for players to fill it out, which gives them more time to play on the actual server.

    Why this would benefit staff-

    This can also help staff in picking out the requests they can do. For example, if it is a LWC Removal or Trade Sign Removal it can be easily known through the process of filters. By filters I mean, in suggestions you have the [Accepted] and [Denied] and more. When they choose LWC or Trade Sign removal it would add it to the corresponding filter, meaning super mods can locate lwc removals easier, and server admins can locate trade sign removals easier.

    But overall, a form is just easier tbh :)

    Any Other Information:
    Q and A:
    But doesn't the fact that the format is in the rules help keep the players familiar with the rules because they have to keep going back to it?
    Well yes, it does, however, a - 'Do you understand and agree to the rules of filing a staff request' - could be added similar to the ones in main rank upgrades (Mayor, President etc).

    How will this work?
    It would work just like a main rank upgrade application (Mayor, President etc)

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: Custom addition, however, it has been already done with rank upgrade applications and grief reports and such.

    If you are reading this and you agree, leave a +1 below or rate my post with the 'Agree' tick :D

    It isn't a desperate need yes, but it is useful and is quicker.

    I don’t understand why ALL forum applications aren’t just forms.

    They used to be. Many were changed to simplify the format (i.e. rank and town applications). However, LWC's would be a bad idea as there is a little bit more involved in a few cases

    Then why not make an 'Additional Information' bit then?

    It's not really just "additional information", more often than not people will file lwc requests in multiple locations and the types of locked item around the area. I believe that would be rather complicated and you could honestly do lwc requests faster by typing it on your own than adjusting everything in the form.

    "Need" isn't an argument that applies to games, though. ECC doesn't need to have towns. ECC doesn't need to have sell hand. ECC doesn't need to exist! Rather, games are based off of want - People want to have towns, people want to have sell hand, people want to play ECC. And as people want a form for locks, why not give it to them?

    How would an LWC form make things harder? How would a form be more complicated and slow down LWC requests, when you already have a form required to begin with?

    I just think that an lwc removal is straightforward enough and doesn't need a form, I mean we already have several threads/tutorials in regards to how to deal with different lwc's but by all means if everything were to look cleaner I suppose we could have a form. I'm neutral on this one.

    I made one of these a while back but I don't think we ever ended up implementing it. I'll see whatever happened with it.

    One potential downside to this that I see is many people just copy and paste an old LWC request into the blank form and edit the appropriate parts (e.g. player whose locks are being removed, coordinates, trade sign/LWC locks). If a form was added, I would suggest doing something similar to how grief reports are currently filed, with a form and a "post new thread" button where players have the choice either to fill out the form or to paste a previous LWC request.
