/report command?

[Hystericallify]

I played Project Ares' intense pvp servers for a while now, and they had a /report command.
The command basically sends a report to every moderator online in the network.
For MCSG, the command could send a message to every staff online in a region, and as a failsafe, it could send a message to a few staffs in other regions.
I know that people could abuse this as a spamming thing, however you could place a 5 reports in an hour limit.

Its both a good and bad idea.

Its both a good and bad idea.

Good idea: That you can just report someone in-game or if you can't take pictures and you want a moderator in there quickly.
Bad idea: Might be hard to code it to go across servers without using the console.

Sorry but with the high number of servers in a region this would kill a mods screen instantly :L

What about dividing a region into pieces, so that a Mod wouldn't get as spammed as much.

USALPHA : US1-10
USBETA : US11-20
USDELTA : US20-28
EUALPHA : EU1-10
EUBETA : EU11-20
EUDELTA : EU20-28
AU : AU1-6

A mod in USALPHA would only get messages from USALPHA
A mod in EUBETA would only get messages from EUBETA

And about the cross-region thing, its not necessary.

That could be very useful but like these ideas are very low on the priority list since there's still The Walls to take care of.. Creative.. Survival.. etc.

I think this would be very good for the servers like hystericallify said have diff mods cover diff areas!

My Opinion :This is genious. I absolutely hate when hackers log out right when I am going to start recording :/

 

[Valethar]

It'd get abused.
Can't believe people ignore the most obvious thing.
Have you seen the amount of people who call someone a hacker after they kill them? We don't want a notification whenever that happens.

I still think its a good idea, despite the cons. Mods have a role of watching over the servers, and say a lot of people report the same person, the notification system can prioritize people with several "reports" (if thats possible). This way, one person reporting someone for killing them "unfairly" can possibly be ignored.
Perhaps donors can be prioritized to getting aid first?

The problem with this is that people would abuse this.
