- Reason
-
If you're a mobile player, unless you're a topic admin for a social tab topic, ALL multi-member SOCIAL TAB group topics only show a table of information that includes:
1) member avatar, 2) member name, and 3) affiliation (guild name if they belong, blank space if not).
On mobile, and unlike browser clients - it's impossible to visually see or know who a social tab topic administrator is - unless you are one.

To rectify the information deficit for mobile topics noted in REASON, I propose that omission be fixed via clear visual identification as to who has been given admin rights for a multi-member social topic via a flag or marker when anyone views the "Adjust Group" list.
Dev can easily do a few things, it's their choice of what and how to inform us who's an admin (if we're not one when we look). Here's a few ideas:
A) Add a new column (4th column to the existing 3...) to the table of topic members, and put a check in a newly made column (
) to show topic administrator rights.
B) Add a special character users can't put in their OWN FoE name, concatenated to the name if they're an admin: (for example: if Xiphos was an admin, it would appear in the list as ️-Xiphos). No additional column would be required. Just use existing columns and visually modify the name when the list is formed from an "if admin test" when constructed.
C) Use the same style design that browser clients (PCs) use (a column with 2 buttons, * for admin, NOT * for member, and/or some type of illumination for topic authority).
Dev's good at designing things like this....:)
- Balance
- It's just more informative for game communications. There should be nothing but upside to allow mobile users to know who's a topic admin the same way browser clients do it now.
- Abuse Prevention
- There is no abuse from this. It already exists as a feature on the PC game platform.
- Summary
- As this messaging topic feature already exists on one game platform (browsers), I'm proposing it be made ubiquitous to all platforms.
- Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?
- Yes, various searches concatenating a few key search terms for this idea did not reveal anything previously proposed, or adjudicated on this idea.
