Color/icon tags for chat list

[atomcrusader]

I do not know what is in store for the next revolution in the social experience
of FAF. However, for what we have right now, color/icon tags will be very helpful:

- Green for your training buddies,
- Blue for those nice people who uplifted you from novicedom,
- Red for people who are very rude and kick others without warning
have very high personal standards and require more care in interactions...

As my friend list grows longer, this system shall come in handy.
There are a few good friends whose nicknames you recognize, yet there are
many others to whom you do not talk often, but whose interactions matter.

Track your karma with a right click! ^_^

Good ideas.

Social interaction options will be extended, probably in 0.7, meaning it'll be a while.

An ignore list will be added before that, I guess.

A karma system is being contemplated, too.

You can already add friends by right-clicking on their names. They will show up near the top of the nick list, their games will be colored differently (more obvious later) and also listed on top.

I have been using that . Mainly to track nice people I have come across on FAF,
so that I can talk to them more often, until I remember their nicks without the list.
However, the unpleasant after taste of getting kicked by unsavory hosts is real,
especially for new players (happened twice to me.) I would prefer to not repeat
that experience as much as I can.

The karma system that you are contemplating, will it be something that publicly shows
how courteous a person is? A measure of popularity and class, driven by how
many times he/she is thanked or scowled at?
