Personal Chat Groups

I feel there is a need for Personal Chat Group.  The global chat these days are polluted with many, annoying people (new and old) and being in a small clan, my clan chats are not very active.  I wish to talk with many player at once, but I cannot do this on global for it is too polluted with random garbage. 

 I suggest that we create Personal Chat Groups.  A person of certain rank (I suggest Arch+ or even Const+) can create there own chat group.  The person can then invite other players to join that chat group.  The person in charge of the chat then can appoint other trusted player to manage the chat for him also.  They could have certain powers such as inviting other players and kicking players from the chat.  Other player could not join that chat group without an invite and can be kicked from the chat group at anytime to limit annoyingness.  To talk in a Personal Chat Group you could simply put an % or & sign in front of your speech (like in #clan and =global chats)  A person could even be in too different chat groups at once one using the % sign and the other using the & sign.  I think this would  greatly increase the quality of the World of Minecraft servers and would bring players closer to together.
I do see a few down sides to this though.  An new creation of begging to be invited into these chat groups would be created but could in fact be controlled quite easily.  Another problem is that a type of "separation" between a few player may be created but i doubt that this will happen in great amount.  Other players might also say that the rankings would have an effect of who could and who couldn't join a certain chat group.  This may become the case in a few groups, but most of the player i know, do not discriminate on rank, but on how fun the person is to talk to and whether he/she can be annoying in situations.
Considering the downs and ups, I think the creation of Personal Chat Groups (or another more catchy name) would benefit World of Minecraft in many ways and is in the greater good for the World of Minecraft community.
Please leave any comments, arguments or anything else.
Thanks for you time,
Takous

I totally agree... so low ranks will not be underestimated by the Higher ranks :"))

good idea

this is a good idea, lately global has been very obnoxious and annoying and if this were added it'd definitely make my day.

love this idea

but I think the coding would be difficult.
Nonetheless, it's a great idea.

@Takous

Your idea is good, but are you saying that those with lower ranks are not to be trusted? Anyone can place a block and gain rep, so does that mean all constructors must be trustworthy as they have had 'experience' of Realms? I have been on Realms since it was was put up, I am technician so does that mean I am not trustworthy?
Apart from that the idea is good, but it could possibly have the downsides.

I have some ideas...

Instead of making it rank specific, why not have it as a purchaseable option in the Rep Store :)
That is, if you can afford it though.

I suggest creating one should (possibly) be the same price as freemium?
And people can join them for free :P

I also suggest that they should have the ability to be customized (Eg. Chat colour, ranks allowed, chat moderators etc.)

People who have been granted as chat moderators in these Personal Chat Groups should have the ability to kick, silence or ban others from that chat.

Staff should also be able to see these chats too without joining them, and be able to see people using the chat's kick, ban and silence cmds in order to moderate them, and make sure they're not abused.

Just some suggestions :)

guys, seriously?

is all of this needed?
there once was a rank+ chat, #chat for designer+
this was abused and filled with inappropriate chat
people can still be abused through this "new" chat
and I for one, do not want to go moderate all private chats
I suggest we do not add this

hmmmm

i have read though your proposal and as many have said there used to be rank based chat groups but they were heavily abused with players saying stuff about other players on these chats ect ect. it would be much easier if the clan function was modified so that the leader could choose other clan members to recruit/kick members. as it is, World of Minecraft clans has been left open for alot of development.

so in summary it is highly unlikely that they will bring back rank chats or add ur suggested chat, the next best thing you could hope for is that the clan system is improved/finished but you have to remember that the staff have jobs ect thus time to work on new and improved features for World of Minecraft is limited

hope this helped

i agree

i agree with kevin on this.. the rank chat has been abused so it got removed. and that clan thing for other players being co-leaders would be a nice improvement for it.
