    This idea is pretty simple, but it basically adds a channel viewer to the scoreboard in wildwest. What I mean by channel viewer is that you can view what text channel you are in (global, local, team). It can be frustrating to talk in the wrong chat, especially in fights because you give up the advantage of surprise. I mainly had the idea for this because people complain a lot about talking in the wrong channel at any given time. Though you can do /profile or just type something random to see what channel you are in, it would be easier if there was something in the scoreboard that told you want channel you were in.

    Hopefully this would be pretty easy to code and add, and I think it would be very useful.

    **EDIT** Also could a command be used to go directly into team chat? Global channel uses /g, local channel uses /l, but there is no /t for team channel. It would just be nicer to type /t instead of /team chat.

    Yeah that's what I meant. It should be in the scoreboard with bounty, team, bank/wallet, etc.

    Very good idea. @Mario could we add this for ww and raid? Shouldn't be terribly difficult. Sorry for the tag.

    This would be VERY useful, it's always awful saying "I'll flank them to the left" not in team chat.

    @AnonymousGalaxy @Eil look at this thread guys. Looks like a nice feature that Raid could also add.
    I agree with you Chilled, it can be annoying to always check in which text channel we are in.

    You guys don't have to tag staff to make them read it. But I agree, it's generally a nice and helpful feature.

    I really like this idea for WildWest, especially if you're sheriff and you can have up to 4 channels. Very nice idea.
    Don't worry Speedcell, I read most threads on the forums, and there are 2 gamemodes I read every thread about, and thats Raid and WildWest :smile:
    There are only 2 channels in Raid - Team and Global, so the necessity for this is slightly diminished, however it is still quite a nice idea. Anon and I will definitely have a talk about it - I do quite like it.

    That would be a great addition. I always find myself talking in the wrong chat and end up being located. Also that's quite easy to code in my opinion. We should definately add it.
    This one also sounds great but in that logic I would like to have a shorter command for the /sheriff hq, probably something like /shq.

    The problem with /t is that's already used for a form of /msg, so I was thinking /tc instead. But I do agree with this and it wouldn't be hard to do.

    Yeah I mean it doesn't really matter what the short hand command is, just something shorter than having to type /team chat.

    Why not. I would also recommend to make the 'GLOBAL' 'LOCAL' 'TEAM' 'SHERIFF' shorter, like G L T S with their respective color (another option could be just remove GLOBAL). This could not seem like a problem now but with the new cosmetic thing, it'd be painful to me eyes to see a message like this:
    《GLOBAL》《SHERIFF》-LORD- UNKNOWNPLEASURES: Sup.

    Yes please. I constantly accidentally post in the wrong channel, this'd help stop this. @randomcitizen1
