Yea, and how many times have you read them since? Unless something's jumping out at you, you're probably not going to go looking for the information on your own.

No one pays attention to them because they're not used to them actually saying anything. If the bright white papers that said "NOTICE" were used for information before, people would pay attention to them.

Exactly, just make them stand out. Give them a flashing glow everytime they're updated until they've been read by the player once.

Not everyone who might need to get an important message across to players has level access to change those.

Could possibly modify staffblocks to no longer display the message in white text above the block, but to send the message to the player when they grab it or click it...just need to have some way to show that it has important information.

So basically the same thing you just said, but so that all staff can use it anywhere.

Then make them NPC based instead.
