    As some people may know if you have multiple tags e.g MVP you can change your tag to MVP (Dark blue name) or a normal player (grey name). Now this isn't my problem, since if an MVP changes to normal it doesn't really have much of an affect. My problem is that sheriffs and staff members can change their tag. I have been caught out a couple of times from a sheriff who has changed their tag since I never use /sheriff now since I can just check the list. Now this doesn't seem fair to me, since new players may not know the command sheriff and might start doing illegal activity even though there is one on. I also think staff members shouldn't be able to change their tag. Once again new players might need a Jmod for something but might not be aware there is actually one on but there is. So the solution is simple: Don't give sheriffs/Staff members the ability to change their tag.

    It is a problem, but in real life do you have a constantly updating list of all the police and SWAT forces?

    I would like the name switching for sheriffs to be removed, but that is for me to benefit from. That would not help the sheriffs at all, and probably would give the players an edge.

    Also staff should be able to switch names, because it can cause some chat spam.

    Staff need to switch names. If a hacker joins a server and sees that there's a mod online, they'll not hack until they leave. This won't happen if a staff member's done /tag MVP.

    Staff can go invisible to deal with hackers

    Sometimes going invisible ins't the best option.

    Of course, when they go to catch the hacker they will go invis. But, how about when a hacker joins a game? They should be able to play the game right, and going invis lets you not able to play the game.

    They can't go invisible to deal with hackers if they're playing the game. Hackers often come on, check TAB, and don't hack if there's a mod on. If they can do /tag, staff don't have to be invisible all the time and can still find hackers who would've avoided them otherwise.

    I think requiring staff to keep their tags on is good, we need a stronger staff presence on Wild West. If that makes hackers log off, so much the better.

    They will just come back after a few minutes and check if they can hack.

    Using /report, you can quickly tell any staff on Brawl servers about these hackers, regardless of who is or isn't in tab.

    We rarely have any staff on Wild West except when a /report is filed. I am saying that it would be nice to have a stronger and visible staff presence on Wild West.

    Even though it would not be good for sheriffs, they would still survive and it wouldn't be a massive affect on them.

    I see your point
    I do see your point but people can report to get a mod online, it's sort of the basis of wild west since there is never any staff on.

    Problem is, the staff team is way too small for there to be a staff member on every single server all the time. People can just hack when there's no staff on, so its better for people to hack even when there is staff on so they can get banned. Its better for potential hackers to hack if there's staff online so they can get banned, so if there ever isn't any staff online they can't ruin the game for people.

    The staff rank overrides the Sheriff tag, so staff members will never have the Sheriff tag anyways.
    Staff members should have the ability to use /tag for two reasons: First, to be on a server unnoticed in order to catch hackers and second, to be able to play for a bit without being spammed with questions non-stop.
    You can see if Sheriffs are online by using /sheriff, so this is by no means a major issue. Also, only Sheriff with a premium rank have the ability to use /tag, so you could see it as a feature they get as compensation for not profiting from faster processing, getting more drugs from drug farming and getting out of prison faster.

    If this is an actual issue, we could simply include a note about /sheriff in the tutorial.

    Locked.
