-1 current system is Ok and works very fine 

Thanks for your input, this is a quality of life improvement suggestion. While we can 'live with what we have' we should always aim to make things cleaner, more efficient and better quality. These notifications would improve screen use and chat occupancy quite a bit.

The suggestion is very aesthetically pleasing and would definitely find use on the server. It is highly unlikely that a few lines of code would mess with the backbone or hardcode of the server, very clean and simple suggestion. Hopefully the devs can experiment with this system and create something more complex that could find extensive use on the server.

Still massively in support of this, anything to help clean up the chat and I think it would be fairly easy to impliment as all it requires is transitioning and reformatting these sources of information.

[Asuna.]

masssiveeee +1. As somebody who works for LSPD and streams every shift. I think this would be a great addition visually and would enhance the experience for everybody in a positive way.

There are a lot of times when the chat gets crowded with more or less irrelevant messages and I can't see the important stuff there (Imagine RP-ing with a crim while your chat is bombarded with Gov notifications like who answered a backup or 911 calls or ads, not very pleasing).

 

Also @Xoza, I think this is one of the best documented suggestions(in terms of development) that I've stumbled upon until now. Awesome!

[Francis]

+1 I dont know why this hasn't been added yet. I hate seeing the chat getting spammed.

[HobGoblin]

Massive +1.  Looks like they are working on it currently. Hope to see more notifications show up this way. 

[Golldy]

I've just wanted to post a thread about making the SMS notification more visible, because literally no one notices when it comes through...
Wonder why this is not yet in the game :?

This would help a lot, I cant say how many times I get a text and have no clue who sent it. +1
