What Code is reserved only for GM's?

GM Code

Being able to rename a link so instead of showing the html link, is says "Awesome Character Pic" or something like that.  Players aren't allowed to do that.

GM Code

Assuming by code you mean stuff the GM can do in a game that players can't, here's my off the top list:

-Set defaults for dice roller
-See ALL pms, even ones not sent to them.
-The entire contents of the GM menu
-Accessing all character's sheets, not just their own
-Editing and deleting anyone's post, not just their own.

Yet I can do it on Character Description page, renaming links to YouTube music for example

By GM Code, I mean tags and code for text etc., not GM reserved commands.

Re: GM Code

The only one I can think of right away is the secret code.

Re: GM Code

Secret and private actually.  One is like a mini PM and the other is only visible by the selected player, but it looks like normal text.

Re: GM Code

Private lines can be used by anyone.  I believe only secret lines are exclusively available for GM use.  GMs can see all private lines in a game though.

In reply to Silver_Cat (msg # 8):

Oh, maybe so.  I don't use either very much.

Re: GM Code

Yes, as a GM in one game I can confirm that anyone can use Private text, but only the GM can use Secret text - I do so frequently >:).

Re: GM Code


I thought that it was the target="_blank" tag, but I just tried it (as a player) on a description page and it worked.

This is the one that only GMs can use within their games:

Help-games-RuBB Code-Links:
The Anchor tag (<a>) is also available for limited use in public forums and by the GMs of games.


Evil Empryss was correct.

The Anchor tag will work on the description page, but only the GM can use it within the threads/posts. I would guess the 'description page' counts as a 'public forum'.
