Hi all! I'm not sure if this would be the right place to make a suggestion for a change to the forums, as this is not specifically a 'Server Suggestion'. Nevertheless; I feel that the player reporting function should be streamlined a tad. I often want to report multiple players at once, most of them for the same reason. Obviously one could report 3 players at once, by comining the footage - but that's a lot of extra effort for the person doing the reporting, and I feel as though the easier it is to post a valid report, the more likely it is that people will use the feature. I'd like to suggest the ability to post multiple reports at the same time. Similarly to how our polls feature works - there would be a button to append additional reports onto the reports page. This would save a lot of time in having to post each report individually. Here's a couple of screenshots to show my idea in function: The button, itself: The result of the button being clicked:
I can certainly understand where you're coming from as a member of the reports team; they can seem tedious when you're creating tickets over and over again. However, the system is already fairly streamlined as is. All the addition of an 'add report' button would do is make the reports process one click faster (very literally, with how easy it is to navigate the report players page and create new tickets). If you're wanting to make more efficient reports, my suggestion would be to do what you suggest and report 2-3 players at once. There's no need to combine footage, as you can include multiple links to different videos in your evidence (assuming you're uploading to a video sharing platform). This takes considerably less effort than creating multiple reports, and saves you the hassle of combining footage.
Hello! Addition to Swingers reply, you can pretty much recreate a similar idea but opening a bunch of report form tabs https://gyazo.com/61a487f95b30a0f32a95b747c8823e7a Enter each report per tab (it's not hard to switch through tabs) and then click Submit for each tab
I actually kind of like this idea because I sometimes submit 30+ reports a day when Skywars is really hopping with hackers. Especially when submitting multiple different videos for different people retyping all of my and the other player's info can really slow me down. But like xBenz said, I usually have multiple tabs open to make it a little faster. Overall, not a half-bad Idea though. Have a lovely day! :)
Thanks for the responses, you two! I'd like to add that I made a small mistake (that I'm too lazy to fix ;P) in my original image. When appending additional reports, you wouldn't have to enter your IGN each time. Sometimes I like to copy and paste descriptions and alter things in my reports, and I often find myself having to re-open my previous report(s), because I've copied the username I'm reporting over the description template I wanted to use. Thus my primary reason behind this idea was because I felt that this may save time, and entice people to report more often.
