Or something like this.
Although the Report function is good, it doesn't warrant immediate responses. I suggested something like this before, but it didn't come into fruition. If one needs to contact an admin for an issue, then we could perhaps have a plugin that brings up a browser and links them here. They could see all the admins, add whichever one is on TF2, or online. Then message them with the problem. We could make a link to the forum rules in the description for the group, and tell them a format to report issues to us.

If anyone is interested in this, I can make up a draft for the description on the group.
 
This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
or admins can keep an active eye on the reports section. i already have enough people adding me for stuff like

"ban this hacker he is moving while taunting"
 
or admins can keep an active eye on the reports section.
"BEING A FAGGET"
"SPAWN CAMPING IDLE"
"TOTALLY WALLHACKING MEDIC"

The "!report" function isn't tied to a link to our "!rules" function. With this, they would be able to click on the rules immediately and see if they're breaking them. Then there'd be no confusion on what's against the rules and what is reportable.
 
doesnt matter how many ways you throw the rules in front of people we wil lstill get those reports.

people can already type !rules to view the rules to see if someone is breaking them

People are lazy. With this, we could have a foreword on the page in big letters with a link, stating that it's mandatory to read the rules before reporting. I believe this would be more efficient. On top of that, it would obviously initiate a near immediate response.

you really think they'd care if it says its mandatory to read the rules?

At least it would be there. Better than just saying, "report le faggets you don't like spawncamping idle".

Regardless if it isn't an amazing improvement, it is still an improvement, in my opinion.

I think it would be good to have large text that asks, "Are they breaking the rules?" and linking them with a hyperlink to the rules.
 
if the yare too lazy to type !rules then why wont then be too lazy to click on the link?
This way would include more steps. Typing this, seeing the page, being prompted to click on the link, adding someone, messaging them - it's a lot harder than "!report Zebra Kissing boys in Idle" or something. It would take effort and would root out the people who spam it because it's simple and quick.
If it's serious enough, people will take the 1 minute effort to go through those steps. The retards who abuse the !report system, however, won't bother.
 
if its serious enough a report will go through and then theres no problem?

i guess im not seeing it as u are

Although the pros aren't phenomenally greater than our current system, it would still be more efficient and produce less uselessness that we receive with the !report system. Keep in mind that said report is temperamental to if admins are refreshing the "Reports" page every other minute or not. This way provokes an immediate response, less "forum flak", gives the admins the opportunity to judge if a situation warrants intervention or not, along with reducing the stupidity that we trudge through.
 
We would potentially be the first community to have some of the fastest reactions to issues on our servers. I don't believe any other community has that feature, since I thought of this on my own out of the blue a long while ago. Having a community associated with immediate responses for problems? That would draw people, in my opinion.
