Revealing Team Chat

Post by Barnaby Jones »

Concise description:
  • Often sending team chat to enemies!
Specifics:
  • The teammate only checkbox is located right between the message box (which needs to be clicked on to type) and the submit button. I find this often gets accidently unchecked sometime between me typing my top secret plans and submitting them leading to humiliation on the board and in the thread. Even though this is mostly my own stupidity, this frustration could easily be avoided for myself and others by moving the checkbox to the end of the message box or something.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • User-friendliness
  • Prevent ruining games for teammates who have played well and earned better than the resulting outcome.

seriously?
The team chat check box is TINY! and it is checked by default (default sends it as a team only message)
How do you accidentally manage to click it between writing and sending your message?

perhaps if he's using "tab" then "enter" to send his message. But this doesn't work, so without thinking, he hits "tab" then "enter" again. Seems plausible to me.

yeh i do that!

if you un-check the box by accident when trying to click in the message box, you wouldnt be typing anything because it isnt selected. therefore if you arent typing, you arent giving away information. and if you do realise that you havnt been typing in the box, you can just re-check the other box - confusing explanation - sorry.

I much more frequently send things to my team which were meant for everyone, but this is more annoying than anything else. Am I the only spaz who needs to be save from himself sending sensitive information to the masses? I just figured this would be a change in one line of code somewhere.

Same here >.<

I don't see anything wrong with the current setup. Beyond the annoying aspects of accidentally only doing team chat, which is better than the reverse.

I can see the article in the paper now.

Private Investigator Barnaby Jones knocks on his knocks on the door with the incriminating
pictures taken of his clients spouse, and hands them over to his clients spouse, there fore
letting the spouse know of the investigation.
