Any chance you might consider censoring the names of reporters when they report?

Got harrased a bit (comments and a votekick) after a recent report and I thought it might be a great idea to avoid harassement to reporters.
 
This suggestion has been closed. Votes are no longer accepted.
Who called the vote against you? If they were trying to call votes against you for making a report that can be considered vote abuse
 
Not a bad suggestion but I don't see any way of doing it.
Also last I checked, there were no votekick votes on skial.
If they tried to voteban you for reporting feel free to report them.

You can always add a skial admin and personally report if you don't want your identity shown, for the time being.
 
Honestly it was one vote kick and I'd rather not go there as it seemed to have opened up a can of worms.

I know this isnt the thread to say this but I don't votekick/voteban or report unless its obvious - I'm also lenient and don't go right out looking to try and ban people. The votekick happened once and nothing more happened after that so I'd prefer not to go there.
 
There was a votekick... if a demo records it I have it as I was recording at the time. I also know who it was.
 
Sigh, here it is:
2014-10-11 02:22:57/votemenu ban #[U:1:9227089]. skial.com | DUSTBOWL+ | LAcp_dustbowl

It was started by i left click baddies ([U:1:195234926]) because I was afk (due to being on the forums). In hindsight I should have gone spec every time I went on the forums (as opposed to just when I was afk for longer due to posting the demo, etc).

Edit: My demo caught it too.

We run a very good witness protection program, we can give you a whole new identity, relocate you to the server of your choice, we even offer 24/7 admin protection for your peace of mind. The only downside is that you will never see your family or friends again, nor will you ever be able to order any decent italian food again.
 
I think that would be a good idea, maybe only make the name available to admins so they can contact the reporter if needed.
 
I think thats the best thing Maddo has ever posted

When you report it says this
KillerZebra wants to report killerzebra2 for: hacking
Type !votereport to pass this report. This report will expire in 30 seconds.


If we block the name it will look something like this.

killerzebra2 is being reported for: hacking
Type !votereport to pass this report. This report will expire in 30 seconds.


We have a problem. Now no one knows who called the vote. What if it was abuse? No one can report the abuser. I personally don't want to dig through chat logs.

If we don't block it in the server and block it on the forums, well that is kind of pointless. Because everyone in the server saw you report the person, so why block it on the forums?
