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", ...
Originally posted by Kugar It seems that this addon can be declared dead, as the author has not been logged in for several months. Very very sad.

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.
Originally posted by Kugar I'll second that. I can't wait for an update to this great addon.
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.

works about 99% of the time for me. but there is always the one GM that just wants to talk. /shrug

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.
