Our current method for reporting cheaters involves using the "@" tag before a message - which sends a message to the crew, however, there's no chance that a "newbie" is going to know this. Usually what happens is this:
1) Newbie joins the server
2) Newbie spots a cheater
3) Newbie yells CHEATER in main chat
4) Crew member executes the /show report command which outputs the message Report cheaters using @report [id/name] [presumed cheat]
5) Newbie reports the player in the correct way, and the appropriate action will be taken
I've double-checked the LVP source code for "report" and no where does it state how to report a player for cheats, other than the manual method that I referred to above in Step 4.
I propose that we create a /report command, even if it's just duplicates the functionality of @ -- or is similar. The end goal is to get a message to the crew.
/report, just like /cmds, /help, etc. is pretty universal amongst SA:MP servers. /report is logical too. I just joined three other SA:MP servers:
Example #1:
Example #2:
Example #3:
+1 from me.
Let's wait and hear from a developer
P.s. I do realize that you're referring to Monique's commands (e.g. .register, .merchant, .song) -- but perhaps we can do both - Xanland might be willing to update Monique to add .report, which other players can then trigger via IRC or in-game, along with a /report command available ingame.
