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.

Exclamation NV bugs in 3.1

Please post them. I'd like to post one fix for all.

UI appears to be working OK (menus). Command line also.

Creating the ticket is a little wonky, and reporting the names is not removing them from the list. Also the generated letter is hanging around after the ticket is submitted. ESC should clear it off your screen.

Please make sure to manually delete any names until the auto remove is fixed. This prevents GMs from seeing you report the same list over and over.
From the command line , use
/nv delete 1

This will remove the top name from the list. Do this 8 times, and it will delete the top 8 from this list, which is about how many I send in my report...

Any other bugs out there?

Testers for bug?

OK. I'm working on a fix for this, because it's annoying the heck out of *me*!

If you're having this problem, and are interested in testing a fix for it, please send a private message, and I'll provide you with a testing lua update to see if it takes care of the problem.

Thanks,

f

Exclamation Known issue

Hey SNX:

I've seen this behavior and documented it in previous posts. I was hoping it was only affecting me, maybe because of some conflict with another addon. I'm guessing it's a bug in this one I need to dig out.

The saved variables file is 'forgetting' everything. This causes the following behavior:
1. All the salutations etc are missing.
2. When you send the report it doesn't ask if you want to remove those names from the list.
3. It doesn't remove the names from the list! (A workaround is to manually remove the top 8 names from the list, but that's a real pain).

The workaround I've found is....

1. go to your "...World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables" folder
2. DELETE the NameViolation.lua
3. Restart WoW

This *should* force the add on to recreate the file automatically with the correct configuration.

Thanks for the note. I'll see what I can do to nail this one down. It's a doosey.

I would prefer the addon saved 'NameViolation_Names' per server, so I can use the same pool of names for my different characters on the same realm.

Patch for 3.0 Now available under "Optional Files"

OK. Special thanks to Wachunga for allowing patches uploaded to the site.

Looks like this is working so far! Plenty of downloads and no feedback, must mean the thing is working ( for now ! )

"options" fix

Hi:

I realized yesterday that the command line "/nv options" was throwing an error as well. I've fixed that in my version, and have sent it to Wachunga for an update.

Here it is:

At about line 214 in NameViolation.lua is the line
InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame(NameViolationOptions);

The fixed line is:
InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(NameViolationOptions);

Re: Adding to list

Agreed. Called "Special Characters" I thought those were still against policy as well. When I saw that Wachunga didn't include those in the list of reasons for the violation, i didn't know if that had changed.

Either way, I do still report them by just on the "Report" menu item, rather than picking a reason on the submenu. They still get added to the list, just without the bracketed reason.

I'm assuming of course, that you have implemented the fix to your .lua file, below.

When you say you can't make the code, I don't quite follow. Are you trying to manually enter the name on the chat line, or are you using the UI to report them?

RP Server list

NameViolationHelpers.lua has a list of RP Servers hardcoded in it. I'm assuming this is a US Server. If you open this file in your favorite text editor, and look about line # 134, you will find the list. You should be able to add the name "Wyrmrest" to the list, just follow the pattern you see there, i.e.:

"Wyrmrest",

into that list, and then reload. This should allow NameViolation to ID your current server against this list and enable the RP menu for you.

Send me a private message if you need more assistance.
