Posted this up on the offical forums but it got buried as most threads do by the avalanch spam threads, so going to throw it on here instead.

repost:
I said this during TT & beta that maybe the /report feature should be expanded on, as we have it now we need to type in /report "player name"

Would it be an idea to be able to right click on player names in the chat box and be able to select several options

/friend
/pm (/tell)
/report -> reason for reporting (suspected hacker or use of inappropriate language)

We all know lots of people use very difficult names to spell to get around getting reported.
I also thought maybe having a similar /report feature on the death screen.

Good idea / bad idea?

The major drawn back to it being /report flooded by players who get killed throw a fit and report a normal player just because. Still perhaps the benefits outweigh the negatives

Yup, the report feature is not refined enough, they should at least make a distinction between cheating and rude behaviour so they can check things easier.

Agree.

What's sad is that this will probably help Sony filter through these things faster (assuming a human has to look at each one) yet we are the ones suggesting it.

at least something like /reportlastkilled and /reportlastkiller though it might have abuse potential too.

Yes it seems like a good idea. That said the people that have to deal with reports probably know best what they need to be able to efficiently deal with them, although I can't imagine they wouldn't want a little more info than just someones name
