Feature request - Report players ingame.

[Upperfoot 0]

I don't know if this is possible with the ARMA 2 engine, but is it possible that players could report players that makes it easier to investigate if they are hacking or not easier.

Here is my outline and rough implementation,

• Player can use a /slash or right click a players name in the player list to report, it will show a dialog option similar to right clicking items (not sure if this is possible).
  
• The report player stores a log capture on the servers themselves, and could also be extended to sending data to either the hive or battleye.
  
• Use a cross checking system by battleye or hive across multiple servers, which would raise a flag, making it easier to investigate and narrow down suspects.
  

Now there are some disadvantages to this,

• It could be spammed on players, I would implement a catch device to stop players spamming.
  
• It could be abused by having multiple people report simultaneously, making the other player look bad (which is why its up to the admins to properly investigate if they did or not).
  
• Massive amounts of information will need to be stored and parsed, I would agree with this being a problem, but more data is better than no data.
  
• More work hours needed by staff. This I feel could be a major limiting factor.
  

This is just a rough outline, but I feel the pros outweigh the cons, feel free to add any critique or point out anything I've missed.

Edit: Can a mod please move this to the suggestions forum? Reported it.
