the auto-advertising will be active only while waiting. But here's another thing I was thinking about: What if I let my room public, but I only invite friends (it could be. Not everyone sets the password and then invites) ? In this case this thing should be turned off in some way imo, since will be useless to have the room advertised when I really don't want it to be.

I didn't think about that many possibilities, was trying to see if the "auto-ads" idea is worth discussing or not. It'll indeed be better if the "auto-ads" are only sent when waiting in the room. It'll also make more senseif private (pass protected) rooms aren't auto-advertised.

btw those 2/5/10min are artibary, I don't have any stats on hand to make feasibility calculations. It did the job to get the discussions going

1. Maybe we could make the "creation room advertise" wait till the real song is selected (but this is gonna be messier to code down probably, so it's a bad idea imo)
2. Maybe we could open the song select before the room is created (kinda complex too. I was thinking to something like the "skip to song..." Button we have in the main menu, but, as I said, it looks kinda complex)
3. Last option, which seems to be more logic, but still complex too. Basically I'm thinking about asking to choose from "join/create/exit" before entering the actual multiplayer room. If join is pressed, you'll go to see the multiplayer room with all the current lobbies and the channel #lobby will automatically pop up. If Create is pressed, you'll go to the song select screen first, where you'll choose the song you want to play (this way you can advertise the correct song for the "creation room advertise"), and then (after you press enter) you'll have the usual "create multiplayer room" screen, where you choose the name, number of players and password (this option looks a lot better, but I wonder about the code side of this...)
4. Former option: use the button I mentioned before to advertise your room only when you want to (this one looks a lot easier tbh, always looking to the code implementation)

1. New Room ads: Green
2. 1-2 Players ads: Yellow
3. 3-5 Players ads: Orange
4. 6+ Players: Red
5. Tag, Team VS: some other colour

1. The command for the room name to be changed is !rename <entry> (of course this command should be hidden in case moderators are inside the room).
   If there is no entry, the default room name will be used (<Player>'s room).
2. Add a channel (e.g. #renamelog) ingame which is only visible to staff for logging all renamed rooms with a code to automatically reset the room name.

     NathBot: [Code: 512] BanchoBot has changed the room name of #multiplayer to "<insert inappropriate content>"
     Nathanael: !reset 512
     NathBot: Room name of #multiplayer has been reset to "BanchoBot's room".
3. Disallow silenced users from changing the room name (if they are the host).
   I am sure some people are using this method to talk in the room.
4. Allow automated multiplayer advertisements using the same options used to filter muliplayer rooms to avoid ads you don't want (client-side).
   Everything will still be sent out at the channel but the game client will remove the ones (before it gets displayed) doesn't match the filter condition.

EDIT: Throwing these out before I forget:
It'll be nice if the ads text can be colour-coded based on number of people or time created, eg:

1. New Room ads: Green
2. 1-2 Players ads: Yellow
3. 3-5 Players ads: Orange
4. 6+ Players: Red
5. Tag, Team VS: some other colour

^Again those numbers/colours are just examples.

This is a good idea imo. I'd also like to add at this request.

Any comments about my idea?

(I dont like the idea of an automated system that someone mentioned tho, a button would be nice.)

I like this idea, but then we need an area for the old "#lobby" so people can just talk. Maybe #General if that exists? (Kind of like #VideoGames but for just general chatting with players?)

I agree, #lobby is full of spam; and it's sad.

I fully support this, however, I don't have any votes; so I guess my agreement doesn't mean anything does it.
You can take all my votes > has none.

Anyways XD
