    When you're reporting somebody, you have to select what they were doing wrong. There's a pull down list that says:

    Report Reason:
    Hacking
    Glitching
    Advertising
    Spamming
    Alternate Account

    and 'Other'.

    The first idea is to add 'Scamming' into that list. I recently reported somebody for spamming a scam into the McWar chat, and it was resolved with a mute. I chose 'Other' for the report reason, but it would've been a lot more convenient if the 'Scamming' reason was added.

    Now, right now if you select 'Other', it doesn't give you any text box or anything to specify what you're reporting. The second idea is to add this. When you select 'Other', there should be a small text box that says: "Explain your reason" or something like that. You would type your reason on why you're reporting that certain player, and then fill out the rest of the report and then send it.

    Hope you consider these ideas.

    Well, scamming would be a bit useless to add. Scamming is allowed on PvP I believe. Could you explain how someone can scam on Mc-War? Also, with the Other category, that seems a little tricky to implement, but we could probably do it. I like that idea.

    I don't mean scamming pixels, something like 'If you give me a diamond ill give u an enchanting table'.

    I mean posting a scam link in the chat, like this:

    Note: This player has already been muted. No need to report him again.

    Posting scam links is basically what the person is doing above, except you wouldn't receive paysafecards. It could scam you out of your in real life money, give the host of the site your information, your 'DoX', if you will. There are endless possibilities on what a scam link can do.

    Posting scam links rarely happens, so I think we will be fine with the 'Other' option.
    You can always use the 'Other/Extra' box to give more informations or put the report reason.

    Alright, thank you for the clarification. But would this not be just something to put in under the "other" section textbox?

    A blank to type what you're reporting them for and the server could be added.

    As Lord stated above, it happens rarely but I think we need to be more vigilant for this kind of stuff, not everybody on this server knows better than clicking on scam links...
    Just look in the YouTube comments in videos...
