    I feel like it'd lead to spam which can be obtrusive to RP especially as we already have so many other things that can spam chat, but yeah thankfully not as much spam due to the tab system, and unfortunately some times crims don't always have the time to turn their phones off when shit hits the fan haha.

    Second part would only be abusable utilizing the same method which would be easier done with the number history. Again, it's so unlikely and the range would be so large and far apart that you'd have to be scripting the observance at that point, but the risk exists. I like both ideas.

    There is a potential problem with showing number history as no script can be truly random, though from what we've heard tracking said "random" pattern is next to impossible and would require more manpower and brainpower than the entirety of Team Strike. I like the idea, would have to see if Paulius thinks it could be abused in that way. (Obviously you can just manually track it, but that is far more difficult and tedious than this would make it.)

    Bonus points if /removefurniture gave any kind of indication of what the fuck I’m deleting too, a 2 second flash or even just the prop name in a confirmation box is better than playing games of chance 

    /selectlocalfurniture followed with /removefurniture
