Player Channels

[germs]

Could channel owners be given more control over their ability to modify their channels, a longer list of possible %formats or perhaps the ability to create/modify your own formats within the 15 character limit.

I strongly recommend against this.  The current channel formats are pretty varied, and allowing arbitrary formats is ripe for abuse.  Having a small number of well defined channel formats also guarantees message consistency and message integrity for listeners.

Nod I agree, being able to make your own formats would invariably lead to players making really stupid ones, and just create trouble really

Shrug, they already make stupid channels, such as 'elfs', so why not allow the flexibility?  You are invited to not turn the channel on if you don't like it.
