Private/Public Chat Indication in /ch

Hey amazing people!

I've been thinking about this for a bit and thought I should suggest it!
So commonly, it's assumed that say house chat is a private chat, same goes for local chat. And a lot of players end up saying things in those chats under the impression it was a private chat.


So my solution to this is that under /ch, it shows that a channel is private or public! Here would be an example of what I'm thinking:
Games ga - Joined [
Public]
Global - g - Joined [Public
Party pc - Joined [Private]
House Chat hc - Joined [Public]


This is pretty much what I have in mind, I think this will help players get a better understanding on how the chat system works!
What do you guys think about this?


Hope you all have a magical day! <3

I wonder if they could just rename the "House Chat" in /ch with the player's respective house to "Raven Chat" or " Honeybadger Chat" - that way it removes the confusion where "House Chat" is not /housing chat.
Plus it seems like the majority of chat is Public except for Party Chat and the way you have it makes me think that Global Chat could be changed from Public to Private and vice versa, along with the other chats.

Heya @Cate and everyone who commented on this thread! I'm pleased to inform you that this suggestion has been completed! Private chats now indicate that they are private when you run /ch. We hope this helps players distinguish between public and private chats!
