No, we won't be digging in anywhere, we rarely use the logs at all. The onus is on the player to present
a complete report, not on the admins to do the work for them. We would like less reports, not make it
easier for people to keep sending them in.
If you feel the little work involved in pressing printscreen, and uploading a few shots for a report is not
worth the effort, please think about not reporting at all please.
We are not going to automate sanction reporting, that would just increase the number exponentially.
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
Dont admins already have too many sanctions to process?
It is not always necessary to report OOC there are many people who understand when told about OOC and if they still dont get it then report them . We dont need a whole new command for that
And what if the guy has a really big name? like the LWB guys?
Oh god, I can just imagine it now...
Newbie in Penny: /help, oh, /report, wonder how that works, lets test it!! *undocks* Oh, theres someone, SMGSterlin, ok, /report SMGSterlin lol test.
*next day* Newbie: Wtf, why is the money I made from mining yesterday gone? *looks at cargo* Sanction Notification? Wtf is this? *undocks* Wtf!? This isn't Pennsylvania... *gets destroyed by station turrets* omg, wtf is Bastille? omg **** this game, im dosing this server, they wanna **** with me, I **** with them!
Or worse, we get report whores who cause 1 gigabyte of .txt files a day, who get banned for excessive reports, and people who might be good RPers and good players in general, fall into this category. Like they say over here, if its not broke, don't fix it.
I wonder if an f-bomb auto-kick could be built in to FL-Hook? getting kicked every time you swear would be kinda funny:
pirate: 30million
pottymouth: 30m? are you f*****g crazy?
Console: you have been kicked. Reason: swearing
1 minute later
pottymouth: hey, why am i back on this base again with no ore left in my hold? where the f**k is my ore?
Console: you have been kicked. Reason: swearing
Later still
pottymouth: hey <random player> can you believe i got kicked for f*****g swearing?
Console: you have been kicked. reason: swearing
1 min later.
pottymouth: hey, why am i back on this base again with no ore left in my hold? where the f**k is my ore?
Console: you have been kicked. Reason: swearing
rinse and repeat.
other ideas: a fine for swearing? say, 10million a pop, all via flhook. no more sanctions, nor screenies to process, less bandwidth taken up on forums, admins have more time to play rather than 'ministrate.
