Create a Dump File Function to Capture Server Snapshot to Help Reduce Abuses, Cheats, and Assist Developers

I would like to suggest a function to allow players to create a dump file of the server they are on to assist Devs, server admins and players alike. This file would contain the necessary info to identify the server, player names and their map locations, along with other information that would provide forensic data. This file would be a necessary component for any reports of cheating, hacking, server abuse or other ToS violations. If someone is cheating and server hops, they would eventually appear on multiple cheat reports, for instance.

This file would be a great tool for server admins, as it would eliminate specious complaints from disgruntled or spiteful players. It would also benefit players who spot suspected cheaters, who get kicked or restricted on servers, or to even help identify issues they themselves have, like transporting and glitching in/through walls. And it would also help the developers when a possible game issue is uncovered.

I would think this file would not be extremely large nor it's generation very CPU intensive.
