[REJECTED] Freezing while spectating
Posted: December 4th, 2011, 6:15 pm
Ok I've been an Op for a few days now, and have used /spec many times already to prevent grief, but I have noticed one limitation of it. When starting to spec, you are told who you are speccing. But that name quickly gets lost in a sea of chat. So to freeze, I've had to unspec and hunt down their name, so I propose this:
What if while speccing, typing /f and following it with no name freezes whoever you are speccing? For example, a guest cries out that a certain "GrieferN00b123" is griefing them. So I go over there, warn, and shortly dispose of him with a kick. Just a moment later, he logs back in, so I spec him. I forget his name, but when he griefs, I only type /f (or /f spec) and he freezes once more. As it is right now, I must unspec and try to find his name. I don't think having /f freeze your spec subject be too difficult to add, and it would be very useful. Let me know what you think!
Hell, even a /whospec that repeats the message "you are spectating (blank)" would help with this.

This isn't court, you don't need to try to sound older than you are. Pretty sure there already was a discussion going on about something that includes your suggestion. Oh look here it is.
