Re: Remember the "Reporting:"

Is the clan tag required? Do we need to spell the username correctly, or just make it very recognizable?

This is running on POE2 and PRRM.

Clantag is helpfull. As close to the correct name as possible. Our time is limited so we will not spend hours trying to figure out a completely off name. But we can most of the time find a name that has a close to correct spelling.

I love it when a plan comes together. Hilarious! Give credit to yourself there Whiskey for the original idea. I just wrote down a few lines of code and handed them off to PanzerHans and now we see it come to fruition. Outfreakingstanding!

So I take it that the colon (":") is required then.

Lately, I have seen the following being used in game, do any of these work (perhaps something has been updated since this was written?) or are these people just using incorrect syntax:
!r player reason
!reporting player reason

The latter is the one I've always known as correct.

On a side note, to answer a 4 year old question about how hard this was to code: I imagine not hard at all. Explode the string, if(string[0] == "!reporting"){/*do stuff*/}

BRAAAIIIINNNSSSS!!!

Holy necro, other Randy Shughart!

To add a factual answer, you don't need the colon, you type !reporting followed by their name and the infraction. This sets an audible cue for any admin with BF2CC open, and they come see what the trouble is. Word to the wise for anybody reading - don't abuse it.

I thought this would be the other randy when I saw the date on the first post, this is furthering my idea that they are in fact the same person.

*twitch*

How do you keep finding threads from 2007?

Honestly, don't take the search function -that- far D:

**Randy_Shughart_ClwFL** · 01-07-2010, 08:17 PM

Well, I posted in the appropriate thread... even if it is a bit old, so what. lol I can't help it, I am an organised person.

So, just to confirm, I guess there have been changes to the script since 2007 as far as syntax? I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing when reporting.

I tend to play late night EST in the witching hour, and sometimes overnight. A lot of times there is not an admin on (until I see TMan, and then I really know it's time to go to sleep, lol) but I want to report it just in case any of them are checking CC. Well, and during prime time as well. Some guy a week or two ago was being a real tard and I couldn't find an admin.

Certainly not planning on overusing it, because I don't want to make undue burden on the admins. However, after I have exhausted all attempts to communicate with someone, what else can you do? I would encourage others to do the same: explain the rules to people who may not be aware but after that report rulebreakers, TKers, etc.

Every non-SM knows how hard it can be to get into the server, especially during prime time, there are always many people trying to get in. Therefore it can only raise the quality of play to get rid of some of the idiots. Not talking about people new to the server here, who may just not know any better; again, I always try to explain and get them to see the "TG way" for starters. Patience and speaking to people in the proper way go a long way, but there are always those few who will never see the light...

I am the other Randy! lol

The original Randy is *Delta*Randy / Magnum P.I. Please refer to him as "original / first Randy" and to me as "the other Randy" lol. Have to give the guy credit, he was certainly here way before me.

**d1sp0sabl3H3r0** · 01-07-2010, 11:01 PM

Randy - typing !Reporting <player> <infraction> will get the attention of the admins if they are on the server or monitoring CC. If you're not sure if one is on, take screenshots of problems if you can, but feel free to post about the incident in the Contact an Admin forum. I promise you we'll look into the issue and address it.

**Axis_Sniper** · 01-08-2010, 11:05 AM

I remember I was reporting someone on the server before, and there were admins on the server...Yet nothing happened.

I expect instant admin action that bans players the moment they look at me the wrong way! WICKENS!

**Belhade** · 01-10-2010, 03:36 PM

To be clear, do we need to type the player name exactly? Or just close enough that the admin can easily figure out who it is? Because, frankly, some people come up with the damndest things to type into the character name field.

**Megagoth1702** · 01-10-2010, 04:09 PM

What about the " !R " thing?
