Yeah, back when the requirement was to Card or certify that absolutely
no crimes had happened recently, I thought to myself I'd never take on
that job.
Also, one thing I realized in doing the task is that a lot of the SHALLs
for non-report things (mainly starting processes) were put in when we had
no quantified punishment, but the SHALLS were put in, not because anyone
cared about things being a little late, but to trigger deputization
ability when the game stalled out on a missing officer. Definitely a
different mindset.
I'd say, of all the things I'm willing to mandate for automation, using
the [Officer] Tag in the subject line and other format stuff is what I'd
be most comfortable with (of course, this is a bad week to say that all
reports have to go to OFF!)
