NameViolation
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!

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.
If you're still not convinced, see the Mods FAQ on the official forums:

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 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);
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?

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.

I believe the AddOn will only enforce them if it knows you're on an RP Designated Server. I haven't tried them it on a non-RP server. Which server are you running it on?

Or anyone for that matter, I suppose. If you're not comfortable editing the lua yourself, please shoot me a private note with your email, and I would be happy to forward you a version with my changes.
I'll also see if I can poke Wachunga.
