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.

That's very interesting, considering NameViolation has nothing to do with enchants.

Thanks to the detailed debug info you provided, though, I think I see what the problem may be. I'll just switch it to a secure hook and that should address the problem.

Thinking about it further, this probably isn't a common situation, so I'm not sure it makes sense to add this in as an option.

You can easily get what you want by copying the German version of the strings from NameViolation_deDE.lua and overwrite the ones in NameViolation_enUS.lua. The lines to copy start as follows:

NAMEVIOLATION_DEFAULT_SALUTATION
NAMEVIOLATION_DEFAULT_OPENING
NAMEVIOLATION_DEFAULT_OPENING_RP
NAMEVIOLATION_DEFAULT_CLOSING

Let me know if you'd like more specific instructions.

Edit: You could also enter the German text on the options page (/nv options). Just copy and paste from NameViolation_deDe.lua, but this means that resetting to defaults will reset the report message to English.

Hi!

Could you add the possibility to switch ticket language independent from the client? (f.e. I'm playing on a EnGb Client but on a german realm)

1. Wanting to immerse yourself into the lore doesn't work in wow, wow is not a roleplayer's game. The author's arguments for it's existence are invalid due to this.
Before you make overgeneralized statements, I strongly encourage you to immerse yourself in cultures other than the one you are most familiar with, for I think you will find you are severely mistaken.

2. This add-on is MALICIOUS toward other players and should not be allowed on this website, or any other good add-on site.
It is not malicious in any way, shape or form, and repeated slander of this form will be squelched. It is merely automating a task which has been requested by GMs and is 100% condoned by Blizzard, though not necessarily all players (as you assert yourself).

3. The author is likely an internet troll that is reading the comments on his file and lol'ing it up.
I would make the same statement about you.



Now, having said that, I suggest you cease your arguments. Your comments are in no way feedback, they are merely harmful to the community here. If you don't like the addon, don't use it, but your continued bashing of a legitimate addon will not be tolerated here. This is your final warning.

Franko and Inactive: You're both very much missing the point. This isn't an RP addon. All players agree to the Naming Policy when they install the game (and each patch, for that matter), regardless of realm type.

Quite frankly, no other argument is needed. This isn't at all about ruining others' fun -- the addon is helping enforce official policy. The GMs actually rely on players to report name violations because it's impossible for them to do it alone.

If you want to discuss this further, please start a thread in the forums.

I honestly don't see a point in an add-on that only ruins others' ability to enjoy a video game and have a unique player name. Just because Wacha wants to get lost in some fantasy adventure doesn't mean he/she needs to play wow-police.

My feedback.

If your question was not rhetorical, most name violations are only dealt with by Blizzard if someone reports them.

If your purpose here was an act of protest, I suggest you consider how much your post will affect the existence of this addon, as well as how much you really care about the subject, before you bother wasting your time again.
