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:

With this add on you can right click a name to add it to a list (queue). It generates the report for you. Try it out!

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?

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,

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);
Patch for 3.1 available
