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.

Thanks very much, Bl4ckSh33p! Looks like 1.3 will have to be released soon

CTRL_KEY_TEXT is actually a global string provided by Blizzard... for some reason they don't have the Mac command key, though -- that's why there's an entry for that.

Regarding the Skip Windows option, only some windows are skipped (the tooltip explains exactly which ones). From the initial Knowledge Base window, you should only have to click twice to get to the verbal harassment ticket window. (once to get to type of ticket window, again to select harassment). Is that the case for you?

I considered adding a button to jump directly to the verbal harassment ticket window, but the way the game is current set up makes it impossible (without causing taint).

Tanks and German Translation

Thanks, I will try to remember not to edit the tickets.
I hope I can find the addon that blocks the popupmenu soon.

I am translating all strings for deDE right now.

PS: I have added CTRL_KEY_TEXT = "STRG"; to the deDE.lua because CTRL is STRG in German. (could not find this one in the file)

And the skip windows options when creating a ticket does not seem to work properly. It does not skip the "open ticket" window or the selection what kind of ticket to open, just the selection between verbal and physical harassment.

Thanks for your continued feedback, Bl4ckSh33p.

I have some other addons but the only one that changes anyting on the target/groupframes is "Simple Unit Frames" as far as I know. (to display classicons)
There's got to be an incompatibility somewhere, because it's working for me and others. Here's something to try: open key bindings, scroll to the bottom and assign a key to NameViolation. Then target the hunter pet and try hitting the key.

You can also use "/nv add <pet name>".

I tried SimpleUnitFrames (right link?) but was still able to report pets just fine. Are you sure there's nothing else you're using that might overlap?

And I noticed that the reported names were not removed from the list a few times after the ticket was closed by a GameMaster. How does NameViolation know that the names were reported?
I used /nv remove 1 a few times to remove the first entry to "fix" it.
It hooks into the submit action and records all names in the ticket... if you change text after copying and pasting, you might fool it into thinking you were reporting something else.

Anyway, you can always remove them manually, and "/nv clear" will remove all names.

P.S. New version up.

There is no Button or popup menu if I select a Hunter pet or rightclick on the targetframe after selecting it even with v1.1.

It's working fine for me. Are you targeting your own pet? (The violation button won't appear, as it seems unlikely a hunter would ever want to report their own pet's name.) Likewise for non-combat pets like cats, parrots etc.

If it's neither of those things, it could be a conflict with another addon... do you have many installed?

If you haven't downloaded the latest version (1.1), you can try that, but I really don't know why it wouldn't be working.

But I noticed that the RPPvP Realm "Das Konsortium" is missing in the helper.lua and does anyone know how to report Pets? I can't rightclick the pet Target frame and if I rightclick the Hunter or Warlock there is no option for the Pet.
Can't believe I missed Das Konsortium (I seem to have all the others). I'll be sure to add it to the list in the next version.

To report pets, make sure that the Pets option is on and that Target Frame is not turned off (/nv options). You should be able to report hunter pets right away because those options are on by default.

Also, only hunter pets are reportable because all others (e.g., warlocks') are assigned a name automatically when summoned, and of course the name is never against the Naming Policy since Blizzard created them.

Thanks for the offer. There are probably a few strings of text that aren't quite ready for localization, but I'll address that in the next version.
