GMhelp Channel

Good day all

My suggestion here is that we make a ingame channel called GMhelp (Some from Excalibur TBC server may be familiar with this), which main idea is to make easier contact between a player and a GM about game related issues and matters. (If a quest works, having problems with bugs and so on.) Joining this channel is as easy as joining world channel, simple /join gmhelp

If there is anyone here who can explain this alot better than me, do so :D

I've seen people get help from requesting a GM in world channel.
This also phases out tickets which the system is there for a reason.

Good idea, but not the best in the long run because someone will eventually be toxic and spam the channel with endless alts like when world chat did not have a permanent owner on it.

Can't it be a GM moderated? (Like World is now)

World isn't GM moderated. The owner is just permanently set to "Nobody" because players owned the channel and abused the channel commands.

Even if this channel is GM moderated, there is no way to defend against people spamming the GM Help channel because people will make endless alts to spam it if they are truly dedicated... and I seen some dedicated people spam world channel to get it to be changed to a server-owned channel.

Wouldn't be a bad idea, but I can already imagine it being shitstorm spammed all day erryday trying to get the attention of GM's, and would still be a disorderly mess. Especially since the GM staff pool isn't a particularly sizable one.
