Add possibility to have greenwall chat in separate chat window not as part of the regular guild chat about greenwall

[ixidion]

the downside of this workaround is that there is no way to have it automatically moderated to allow only confederation members to participate (because if somebody leaves the guild they would still have access)

Greenwall uses a chatchannel in the backround. Greenwall does not solve password change issues for you. You have to change the channelpassword/configuration regularly.

If you want that feature for yourself and not enforce it for the whole guild, you can use Prat-Addon with an inbound-filter on the Greenwall-Channel.

At one point we did have channel defense, but channel bans were not very robust and we pulled out the feature for stability. Currently, the security of the channel is bounded by the security of the guild info tab. If you need to keep someone out whom you've just kicked, and they know the channel details, you need to change the channel name and password in all co-guilds.

If you want the confederation chat to be distinct from guild chat, the simplest and easiest solution is to create a password protected channel and use it directly. You don't need an add-on for it and any user could create a chat window that includes the shared channel and guild chat.

yes that would be good for some small parties

and + also every guild member has to join it manually or it needs a macro to ginv + chatinv

It seems to me that this is really a chat filtering problem and not a confederation problem, so it's outside the scope of GreenWall. Additionally, splitting the local guild chat from the confederation guild chat traffic would likely introduce significant confusion if some members are viewing all traffic and others were looking at only the local traffic.

I'm going to decline this request, but if another add-on attempts to implement this on top of GreenWall I'm happy to consider minor changes to make the filtering easier.

Thank you for your comments,
I guess another addon on top of greenwall would make sense for this too

so this means people who get kicked out of any of the guilds from the confederation can still participate in the confederation channel? I thought they get automatically banned in the channel by greenwall when person who has to ability to moderate the channel gets online.. I guess its not that big of an issue ingame.
