They are toggleable in the player preferences verb-tab, default is on. They are not necessarily limited to anything, it is just an image in text. The main use is to mark some distinct channels (like OOC, LOOC, admin and mod cheat, dead chat, PMs, ...). To make them more visible, easily distinguishable and perhaps more visually appealing.
* Both admins and regular players can toggle deadchat off
* Having deadchat on still requires you to be a ghost or an admin/mod to be able to /see/ deadchat
Fixes#3285. Changes way hearers are found, so it includes pAIs now.
Also adds (R) in front of LOOC messages that are sent by mobs not in view, for admins/mods, since it's quite disorienting.
Removed var/constant/Pi It's already defined in setup.dm
Moved a bunch of global_lists to global_lists.dm
Fixed hair randomisation. (still bits to do)
Moved a lot of preferences_setup.dm stuff into __HELPERS/mobs.dm They'll be FAR more helpful as generic procs, rather than something tied to preferences.
Merged mob/var/nopush into status_flags with the CANPUSH flag
Merged mob/var/nodamage into status_flags with the GODMODE flag
Removed mob/var/be_syndicate and mob/var/be_random_name as they are not used.
Added /proc/ui_style2icon(ui_style) proc. It converts a string like "Midnight" into its corresponding dmi file. The code fore creating a new hud uses it.

You can now modify specialrole candidacy mid-round and it will save changes to your savefile.
Added a BE_NINJA flag. Doesn't do anything yet. If somebody wants to implement it, go for it.
Moved prefrences stuff from new_player to the folder /code/modules/client/
Renamed toggles so they appear in a nice order.
