It's not clear enough, and I can imagine myself walking around with a looking to meld sign and people just being confused as to whether I'm trying to RP or meld.
It also doesn't provide much beyond what putting currently IC in my search box would do.
If you could get a smaller RP circle using it as a way of signifying whether or not you're IC, then it becomes useful. If I am walking around my residential area and see a few friends of mine with "Currently IC" icons over their heads, then I'm more likely to stop in and see what's going on.Â
And it does accomplish more because how often do you actually individually check up on people's search boxes?
A lot...Very frequently. If someone looks IC in the slightest I inspect. It's become a habit. But I wouldn't mind icons either, but if people don't use the tools they have now they most likely forget to use a new tool as well.
I.E. If people forget they marked OOC/IC in their search box they most likely would forget to flag themselves as well.
I'd still support the idea though, but I see it from both sides.
