Chatreports module
« on: June 28, 2015, 11:58:18 AM »
The Chatreports module allows players to quickly gather sharable evidence on someone that breaks chat rules.

It can be hard to prove whether screenshots or copied chat messages are genuine. This module provides an easy way for players to gather valid evidence against rule breakers. It works by posting a player’s chat history to a Pastebin account when a player runs !chatreport <player>.

Requirements
- 1 Pastebin account (Sign up here)

Setup (It's simple)
- Extract the ulx-chatreports archive into your addons folder
- Inside the the extracted folder, locate and open data/chatreports.json with a text editor
- Open up a browser and sign in to Pastebin
- Navigate to https://pastebin.com/api#1 and copy your developer key
- Back in the chatreports.json file, replace YOUR_DEV_KEY with your actual developer key
- Navigate to this page, enter the requested information and click the "create api_user_key" button. Copy your user key.
- Back in the chatreports.json file, replace YOUR_USER_KEY with your actual user key
- Save the file. You're done. Restart your server to activate the addon.

API limitations
- Free Pastebin accounts have a limit of 25 pastes/day

This is actually incredibly useful. And a lot quicker than having to go through the server logs. +Karma for you, mate.

Nice.
I think this release would be great in combination with several of the reporting and note taking addons in our Releases section.
