Recording all PMs on server.

[Twinny]

On Zodiac, I added a log which only logged when players said certain words (think hacking tools). If this would said, it would then log next 10 lines. To log everything is kinda....****house.

The only thing I could think of is logging all chat on the client. Then if the client gets abused by someone, the client can send the server a history between that person and themselves.

So if I say hack and walk on walls, will you get it?
Tell me if you get my message!

It was more of a 'deadgraal' 'cheat engine' kind of thing. You wouldn't believe the amount of idiots who would chat about what they were using.

I guess that's useful, but is it worth the time to deal with individual players? If someone's going to use whatever hacking tool, they'll probably do it without much discussion. I wonder if an automated alert system could be put into place instead, though. Like a serverside UI notification for admins whenever stuff like that comes up. Just an idea.

Hmmm... Like a little exclamation mark. Yes, that's perfect...

You can't assume people are that smart.

Besides they might be talking about other people they know who have hacking tools.

Great idea ziplock, people are so mean in this game at the moment it should be rated 18+

Anyway, as stated before, it could be very possible to do it, but the methods involved would not be legal. I think some servers have their own PM system from what I remember it may have been in the past, but if they record converstations, they are required by law to tell people in clear as day that it is being recorded or may be recorded (hence why you hear "this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes" on business phones) or you can be sued for a lot, and if this was the case, Stefan and Unix would be paying the price.

By law? I'm pretty sure Graal ToS already state that you should not expect privacy or something like that...

United States law, France is a bit different apparently.
