Hide !votereport from the user being reported

[Pinker-tan]

If you don't know what I mean. Basically if i get !reported I will not see the votereport in the chat

I think this will prevent the reported from stopping what he/she is doing because they got reported,
resulting in them being dealt with and not wasting the admin's time

It would sound good in all honesty, however, what would happen if the person being reported was doing nothing wrong? How would they tell the server to vote no because it was a lie?

They wouldn't tell the server and the person who reported someone doing nothing wrong would be punished for report abuse.

Record a replay ahead of time. Or Fraps it. You always want evidence regardless of the circumstance.

OR you can use /votereport instead of !votereport and it's hidden!

I think he means the final text of the report showing up in chat.

The "Pinker-tan wants to report mittens for rating posts dumb. Type !votereport to submit this report"

So basically I wouldn't see that but everyone else on the server would.

on a side note: maybe the report plugin should note if the player accused votes to pass it. I'm pretty sure that some people that have been falsely reported vote in an attempt to get the accuser for report abuse.

another side note: I wonder why the vote system hasn't been patched so players can't call votemutes/kicks/bans on themselves?

If they reported cannot see the report message they have no reason to type "!votereport" (unless they just want to because others are) but either way this would solve that problem as well...

That's what I thought ^

I thought only the person reporting can see that text.

Then how will other players on the server know whether or not to type !votereport if only one person can see a pending report?

ahhh okay

 

[KinCryos]

also, making the report counts as the reporter's !votereport

Getting them to stop is what we want, we prefer to have people stop what they're doing rather than ban them. problems with abusive/racist chat are all recorded anyway.

They'll stop for about 30 minutes then do it again when their suspicion is down on another skial server or the same one

That's just assumption.

That's mostly what smart griefers do when they get reported.

Then the best course of action is to record a demo.

not all players in a server knows how to record a demo + upload it.

And not all know how to report, but if you really think that a covert vote to get an admin on who will firstly issue a warning (causing the griefer to temp stop their behaviour) followed by the admin leaving and then the griefer resuming their activity is useful or saves admin time, then carry on making your case.

only a small chunk of admins warn before banning/gagging
