tweak to in-game reports

Suggestion Name: tweak to in-game reports

Suggestion Description: see text below

Any example images: no

Why should it be added?:
As a player who often uses the in game report system I find that a simple tweak could change stuff.
When you submit a report in game, it will eventually time out. Once it times out you will receive a notification that it timed out in the chat box.
However, if you leave the server before your report timed out or got seen, you will never know if your report went through or not.
Which is why I suggest that in the notification box (see attachment below) we add a notification going along the words of "Your in game report for user {user name} with the TMPID {tmpid} has <been accepted.> ; <timed out.>; <been rejected>.

If you have any ideas or suggestions to this feel free to comment below.

Yes, you will. You can check if the person you reported was banned or not. If they're banned, chances are that action was taken based on your report. I can't really see them adding a notification to the website, as the game and website aren't really, afaik, that interlinked. Also, if you're playing around peak times, reports timeout pretty quickly, so chances are, you will see if any action has been taken or not. 

Instead of a notification, perhaps the ability to see your in-game reports in the web report system would be a better fit.

They aren't going to link the in game report system with the forum and/or discord. If you have the player's name and/or session id, you can verify if that same player is still playing via the livemap. Otherwise, you can use their id to see if a "This user is banned" flag has been added.

 

Maybe they could add a system similar to the web reports via the launcher?

REPORT # | Player | SE ID | TMP ID | Reason | Status

-----------+-------+--------+------------

28539       | Mark   | 1432  | 482342| 2.4, 2.5 | Timed Out

-----------+-------+--------+------------

28569       | Realo  | 67      |3829148| 2.3, 2.6 | Banned

 

• Report # : The ID the report gives you once you submit it.
• Player     : Name of the reported player
• SE ID      : Session ID. The identifier assigned while connected to the server.
• TMP ID   : Account ID of the offender, which is used when creating web reports.
• Status     : Outcome of the report. Timed out, Banned, or Pending.

Hello @sportdex,

 

Thanks for your suggestion! Due to the high complexity of implementing your idea and the somewhat limited benefits it would provide, we have decided not to move forward with this suggestion.

 

Have a great day!
