Complain about a specific chat message to the Game Masters.

ComplainChat(lineID)
ComplainChat(author, [message])

<number> lineID

This is the eleventh argument from CHAT_MSG events.

<string> author

The name of the player to complain about.

<string> message

The chat message to complain about.

Notes

• Abusing the spam-reporting API will get it protected. [1]
• Complaining about a player squelches further communication from the target's account for the rest of the session. [2]
• lineID can also be obtained from the player link. E.g. local lineID = strmatch(link, ("|Hplayer:[^:]*:(%d+):.*|h") - useful if using OnHyperlinkClick, OnHyperlinkEnter, or OnHyperlinkLeave.
