Request to Talk for Moderated Channels?

[Marsman]

First let me say great job - TS2 is clearly the comm program of choice now.

I work with an Internet "Talk show" and we have been using PalTalk to host guests to participate in the talk show. One of the features that is extremely helpful to our format is Paltalk's "Request to Talk" button. It places a little hand up next to the user indicating they would like to respond to the topic being discussed. It also sorts the user list in the order that they pushed the button (i.e. first person to pushed the request to talk button gets the little hand next to his name and is moved to the top of the list just under the person currently speaking. Next person that pressed it sorts under him and so forth).

Is something like this possible for teamspeak? The sorting isn't anywhere near as important as knowing which people have reposnses ready and wish to talk though some sort of indicator. (btw the indicator, or little hand, disappears as soon at they transmit). That option would seem to me to be an important feature for moderated rooms.

Also there is a fair amount of text chatting that also occurs during the show. While TS2 can send text to the channel, it's a bit awkward to have to right-click and select "send text to channel" each time someone wants to chat.
Would it be possible to have an optional "Input" bar that users could just type in and press enter that would go to current channel. Global text is fine as it is, but the ablility to toggle on a standard input window for current channel text below the normal text window would be much appreciated.

Again - great work folks - thanks for all your efforts so far.

check the "Request voice" option in self mate, which works in moderated channels.
