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.

I totally agree ... the addons was very usefull to report many names which violated the name regulations on RP Realms. Without this addon it tooks way to much time to report the "supernoober", "imbakiller", "RofLHunter", ...

Okay, folks. I did some digging into the NameViolation files and I think I've hit upon the section that needs to be updated:
-- skip verbal vs. physical harrassment page (always pick verbal, though there is no real difference)
local NameViolation_GeneralButtonClickHook = function(...)
if (not NameViolation_Settings.SkipTicketWindows) then return end;
if HelpFrameOpenTicket.ticketType == 2 then
--HelpFrameGeneralButton:Click() -- this also works... not sure why
HelpFrameVerbalHarassmentButton:Click()
Because the "VerbalHarassmentButton" doesn't exist anymore, NameViolation doesn't know to include the little tick-box that'll open up a secondary window with the GM message to cut and paste. That's easily excised, but I don't know what the new pages are called to replace what's been eliminated.

Help?

Thankfully it still allows one to log names, so I've been able to keep a running record of all the new violations I've encountered, but that list is getting pretty long.

If I had the know-how, I'd try to do it myself, but I'd rather let more talented folks do their thing than screw up my favorite AddOn.

No Longer Working

Apparently there are some errors appearing with this add-on currently due to the latest patch.

Black List

Black List, http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/9054/, is an addon that I believe you, Wachunga, may glean some ideas off of for your addon. Basicly, Black List is an addon that adds a new players list (called "Black") to your Friends Tab on the Social Panel, near Friend List, Ignore List and Mute List. It also has some things like tracking of players.
