' Wrote:4) Take the 2-5 mins yourself to politely tell the guy in PRIVATE you just scanned that he's missing the ID, or his ID and tag mismatch or whatever that would be against the server rules. I've gotten a lot of "Hey, thanks. I didn't know that." Use private channel to answer to those people who use system channel to ask what-ever questions they are asking. They get the answer they are looking for and you have just cut a significant amount of OOC chatter.
This one right here is one a lot of people need to pay attention to.. I've only reported a few people for not having ID in my entire time here. Those people are people who are flying fully armored and equipped battleships around pvp whoring without an ID. Other than that, I send them a POLITE message about them missing an ID. If you make it obvious your trying to prevent the guy from getting sanctioned, he'll be more willing to listen and will go grab an ID quickly afterwards. A simple; "[Name], you need an ID" is fine if your a bit busy at the moment.. But if not much else is going on, take the time to explain it more fully.
