Pending Adding a close button to the report menu.

[uintancæstir]

I remember back in the 2010s report menus used to have a close button, was there a reason it was removed?
I also remember there not being a 10 character requirement but that's a side topic could be discussed more.

Do you mean when you get reported and you have to answer for it?

Yeah, there use to be a close button in the top right corner, you could get names of players and re-open it to write more informative responses to reports.

Kind of neutral on this, I like that people can't ignore reports against them but at the same time sometimes I get reported and get one person I killed confused with another person.

i like people not being able to close out of it bc you can report them at inopportune times and get them killed <3

You dont answer to your reports until youre dead. Unless you mean right before the start of a round, which isnt a big enough problem to include something like this imo.

maybe if you do !respond sure, but id want it to be forced open when dead until a response is made

If you report on round 1 and you wait in the menu until round 2 it force-opens the report immediately iirc

It also force opens the report immediately if it's a fun around if you open the menu the round prior lol

You can respond to reports while you're alive, which personally is better than waiting until I die and remembering bits and pieces of information.

It could pop up after you die of course, but I want to be able to exit and check names of players to give a better response, then re-open the report menu with "!respond"

+1 had to watch a deathscene with a report box open and it is so annoying if people dont respond just slay them

 

[cooldude42]

they should remove the 10 character thing i wanna just type "rdm?"

-1 it opens when you die and doesn’t impact your gameplay at all… makes it easier + faster for reports to be handled in the long run

I'd imagine you could make the rdm manager check to see if the player is in a "preparing" phase and wait to force the response until their next death/round end to avoid the silliness of round start reports.

I like responding to reports with "!respond" before I die or the round ends, where the information may be more difficult to piece together otherwise (unIDed body names, traitor weapons, etc).

The 10 characters I could get behind, at least the staff has some sort of response from the reported player.

As a Mod I like the fact the "X" was removed because it lowers that amount of delayed slays. If the report is valid and you don't respond, you're just delaying the slay/it being forgiven a few rounds. Thinking back on how many times I had to warn people on SGM they needed to respond to avoid a slay.

That's understandable, if players were allowed to close reports then it would be very open ended.
I wonder if there could be a separate menu that has a close button if you respond while you're alive, but that might cause UI conflicts.
