/report and even more exciting!!!!!
« on: June 30, 2006, 07:18:30 pm »

- Added chat history and changed the /report command
  Last 50 tell, say, shout and auction messages are stored to every character's chat history.
  This includes what the character says and also what the character hears. The /report command
  writes the chat history of the *reporter* to the log file and then keeps logging for next
  5 minutes. The person being reported gets a warning about it.

- Fix for Pet Relationships
- Started making pets capable of attacking


Please forgive me if this is already posted, I did not know how to search for the topic.

So /report is nice... but the pet relations and possibility of attacking pets is awsome!!!  Kandrek has been teaching Little Sphinx to attack since he adopted her, though she never seemed to learn!

There is no way for /report to be abused, so put your fears at ease. The logs will all be on the server and out of reach for any and all modifications.

I'm seriously uneasy about it reporting the reporter instead of the one being reported, for two reasons:
1) Privacy. It quite obviously violates the privacy of the one doing the right thing, not of the one doing the wrong thing.
2) Uselessness. The reporter may catch a say or two and use /report. The one reported may run away and do their thing elsewhere. Now instead of one consecutive log of abuses, you get a log with, at best a few, incidents by a whole lot of players.

I seriously don't see any benefit in this. The overall context would be just as well captured if the entire log, including what is received, of the offender was stored. The very low added benefit of a slightly more complete picture IMNSHO does not at all warrant such a liberal breach of privacy. This system feels more like the reporters are the bad guys. Is this the intent?

I feel that it makes more sense to record the logs of the target, but Bereror worries about the privacy issue with that situation - anyone can type /report [NAME] and your logs would be saved to GMs, with or without reason. Though this situation doesn't matter to me at all, as GMs ignore logs with no offenses already, would this be a concern?

Hi! I'm new here, and haven't gotten to play the game yet. I just had to say that "posting and you' bit is by far one of the funniest things I've ever seen! They should make it a viewing requirement for all new posters! :)

No.. the server could get an overload of logs

Anyway I think it's Verry good, but try to secure it with report overload (max every 10 secs?) etc

Well... i agree, the target should be the one logged. But if people run around /reporting everyone and the GMs eventually start to ignore the reports because 99% of them contain nothing, then its a problem because then there is no real effective way of reporting abuses other than physically calling over a GM at the right time, and not everyone knows all of the GMs, or at least the active ones.

So there's one potential problems. But who wants to go around /reporting everyone anyways?

GMs will never ignore reports, just like we never ignore petitions even though more than half of them turn out to be nonsense like "HI GM" and "HELP ME PLZ".

The question is, would you guys be comfortable with other people having the ability to use /report like that?

I think that the GM's will give out a warning to the one's that are reporting too much...
They're nor crazy you know, there must be a name from the reporter being logged on the log...
And Easton is right, who want to run around reporting everybody? I don't think that guy/girl is someone with the love for RP and eventually if they don't stop their "report-spamming" I think they'll be kicked or banned (I don't know the difference, and don't wanna find out ;) )

There are people...

Is there a chat filter? That would help

If you keep the filter up-to-date (unlike other games) I'm sure you're going to have a great help from it.

The report button is verry good, but you should give it only to players who played at least.. dunno a few hours
