NameViolation  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.43
by: Wachunga [More]

by Wachunga (Maelstrom-US)

Simplifies reporting names that violate the Naming Policy.

Update June 2009:
Check the "Optional Files" tab for the latest version, now maintained by Fincasann in my absence. Thanks Fincasann!


Version History
1.43 - September 16, 2008

  • now works correctly with most recent patch (use the "Report Issue" button)
  • simplified auto-removal of reported names: user is now prompted whenever submitting a ticket
  • added some colour to UI messages
  • removed "skip windows" option, since the default help menu was simplified by Blizzard in 2.4.3
  • removed "no response" option, since Blizzard added "Report Issue" button that requires no response by default
  • added new slash command for switching language of report message (/nv language) for players with English client playing on German servers. Note: the options interface will include this in a future version.
1.42 - May 13, 2008
  • fixed minor issue related to replacing enchantments
1.41 - April 14, 2008
  • fixed minor settings initialization issue
1.4 - April 13, 2008
  • added a checkmark in the popup menu for already-reported players (beside the chosen category, if any)
  • added realm name to GM reports
  • disabled reporting in battleground and arena matches
  • fixed German localization (typos, encoding)
  • fixed display of ctrl/cmd for pc/mac
  • fixed /who guild name reporting issue (introduced in 1.3)
1.3 - April 11, 2008
  • German localization now included (thanks Bl4ckSh33p!)
  • report instructions now correctly display on first use only
  • improved pet detection, fixing some pet reporting issues
1.2 - April 10, 2008
  • now localization-ready
  • added reporting instructions on first use
  • improved keybinding error-checking
  • added limit to number of names per ticket
1.1 - April 7, 2008
  • added "Das Konsortium" to list of RP realms
  • some saved variable optimization
1.0 - April 6, 2008

Features
  • Allows right-clicking on targets to record naming violations. (Or just use the provided keybinding.)
  • Also works for names in chat, who list results, etc.
  • Supports player, hunter pet and guild names.
  • * When creating a ticket with 'Report Issue', the full report is shown for easy copy and paste.
  • Names are automatically removed once reported.
  • Fully customizable via interface options.

Q&A

Q: Why can't I report names in battleground/arena matches?

1) You should be focused on winning the match, not reporting people.
2) You are more likely to report people in anger (because they clobbered you, etc.)
3) Players may be from all different realm types, and some violations don't apply to certain realm types.

Q: Why do users of NameViolation have to copy and paste the ticket message?

A: Because of the recent addition of the "Report Spam" feature, Blizzard assumed that there was no longer any need for reporting addons and removed the ability to automatically create new tickets. Yet the process to report Naming Policy violations remains very inconvenient.

Until this is addressed (suggestions have certainly been made), NameViolation works around this oversight by showing the report message in another frame for easy copy and paste. Note that it is currently impossible to directly set the text of the ticket window, or else that's just what this addon would do.


Q: Is this addon legal?

A: This addon does not allow players to do anything they cannot already do -- it just makes life easier. For example, players can already keep a list of names and report them using copy and paste. With NameViolation, there's just less alt-tabbing and/or scraps of paper to worry about.

please update. SpamSentry has stopped supporting the name reporting feature so this is our only hope now.

I can't wait for an update to this. We're getting swamped by horrible OOC names on my RP realm.

Fixed for 3.0.8

* Addons that use the built-in UIDropDownMenu system can cause Focus related options in Unit DropDowns to stop functioning.

Re: Re: Re: Nameviolation failure

Thanks for the error report, Sec. It was trivial to fix that one but there are now taint issues with adding buttons to UnitPopup. Blizzard has acknowledged that this is a known issue here:

It doesn't look like there is any workaround at this point...

I hope that the following error report helps:

Code:
Interface\FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:998: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)
[C]: ?
Interface\FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:998: in function <Interface\FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:996>
Interface\AddOns\NameViolation\NameViolation.lua:493: in function `func'
Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:568: in function `UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick'
[string "*:OnClick"]:1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>
I saw no option to "report bugs" underneath the download button; apologies if I submit this to the wrong spot.

A quick "/nv reset" should fix any issues you're having.

Reporting in battlegrounds isn't available because the names that you are seeing aren't necessarily from your server; so, probably don't or may not have the same naming conventions as the server you are on. So, they won't be able to look up a name unless you give the server name, as well.

I can only imagine reporting a really bad BG name, though, if it had profanity or sexual references in it. In either case, that's probably why it's disabled.

Just an FYI. :-)

I'm using the newest version and I have to constantly retype the 3 textoptions, because they get deleted. The other options seem to be fine, although I can't report any player in battlegrounds.

Edit: after reading the patchnotes, I have to ask: Why is reporting in bg's deactivated??
