    This is a informational Thread explanining the functionality of our new in-game reporting System, for both players and admins.
    It is currently in beta, so if you find any bugs or have other sorts of suggestions, feel free to post them here!

    First of all, where is it installed?
    As for now, it's installed on all Servers, except the following:
    - Both Idle Servers
    - MvM (people tend to spam reports there for nothing)
    - L4D2 (doesn't need Admins)
    - GMod (LUA is ugly)

    How does it work?
    The System consists of 3 Parts, 2 for Admins and one for public.

    Part I: in-game
    After typing either !report [playername] or /report [playername] (latter one is silent, playername is optional) a window will popup where you can select the reason you want to report the selected person for.
    If you didn't specifiy a playername, another window will be shown before that.

    Player selection:
    [​IMG]

    Category selection:
    [​IMG]

    Reason selection:
    [​IMG]

    Once you have selected a Reason, the report will be forwarded to our backend.

    The following content is only viewable by our Server Admins.
    Hidden Content:
    **Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by members of (usergroups: Legacy Admin).**
    What kind of commands are there?
    in-game:
    !report [playername] or /report [playername] (silent)
    playername is optional, if not specified, an extra menu will be opened.

    Hidden Content:
    **Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by members of (usergroups: Legacy Admin).**
    If you have any suggestions/bugs regarding the public part, please post them here!

    will it warn the admins that have their powers on those idle servers?

    He means on the web panel. There's no 'back' option when you click on 'more'. Except for the back button on your browser and everywhere else.

    I mean when you pick a category, But if the reason isn't in there you can't go back to pick an other category.

    For the web panel can you make it so in pending we can't see reports for servers we're not admin on?

    Well, in that case you don't have to do the thing I said because it's worthless as fuck.
    Considering that's what Downie is too I figured that's what he meant.

    Update 23/01/2014:
    - Added option to leave category (select the "Previous" option from the first page)
    - Added support for custom reasons! (available under Other > Custom)

    Other changes:
    - Webinterface: Fixed bug which allowed admins to view reports from servers which they aren't even admin on
    - Bot: Fixed a bug where you could resolve an report which has already been assigned to an other admin
    - Bot: Made "Report #xxx has been claimed" more descriptive (includes the admin's name)
    - Webinterface: Added support for HTTPS and added an archive to the bottom of the page

    Please note: the custom reason might not work (if you select it, the menu just disappears). This is because the server has to reload its translation cache first, and this only happens on mapchange/server restart.

    I got my first 4 reports today. All of em were from Trade server, not my achievment/idle.

    How should I approach this? So far I did nothing to those cases.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    Idea: If there are any unclaimed reports for the server(s) you're admin on, whenever you go online/login on steam, let the bot send a message like "There are unclaimed/unresolved reports available! http://report.f-o-g.eu/"

    Add a report option for the strange weapons in the idle area, that seems to be 90% of my reports.
