Sending a request from the panel

  1. Run /pov. The panel opens with the request summary on the left and the target selector on the right, plus a live count of online players in the top bar.
  2. Pick a target:
    • Player List tab — a searchable list of everyone online (you are excluded). Search matches names and server IDs. Each row shows the player’s Discord profile picture, or their initials if none is available. Click a row to select it; click again to deselect.
    • Server ID tab — type a raw server ID (digits only). Press Enter to send immediately.
  3. Optionally type a Reason. A live character counter shows how close you are to the cap (Config.UI.reasonMaxLen, default 120).
  4. Click Send Request. The summary panel shows the result, and the send button turns into a cooldown countdown until Config.GlobalCooldown (default 10 seconds) expires.
If you search for a server ID that isn’t in the list, the panel offers a Request player #ID row so you can target them anyway — useful when a player connected after the list loaded. Use the refresh button next to Online Players to reload the list at any time.
Press ESC or click Close to dismiss the panel (ESC can be disabled with Config.UI.closeOnEscape).

​
Direct send

Skip the panel entirely: 
/pov 42
Sends the request straight to server ID 42 and reports the result as a notification. No reason can be attached in this mode.

​
Validation and cooldowns

Every request — panel or direct — is validated server-side:
  • You cannot target yourself (You cannot target yourself.).
  • The target must be online (Target ID not online.).
  • The global cooldown blocks any request within Config.GlobalCooldown seconds of your last one (Please wait before sending another POV request.).
  • The pair cooldown blocks requesting the same player again within Config.PairCooldown seconds (You recently requested POV from this player. Try again later.).
Reasons are trimmed and capped server-side regardless of what the client sends.

​
What the requested player sees

The target gets a toast notification in the top-right corner:
  • Title: POV Requested
  • Message: Player has requested pov post in Player report (localized)
  • The reason, if one was attached
  • A progress bar that drains over Config.UI.toastDuration (default 8000 ms)
The toast uses your configured accent colour. At most four toasts stack at once. The target needs no permission — they always receive it.

​
The Discord log

Every successful request posts an embed to Config.WebhookURL titled POV Requested with:
FieldContent
RequesterAdmin’s name and server ID
TargetTarget’s name and server ID
MessageThe request text shown to the player
ReasonOnly included when a reason was attached
The footer shows Config.Embed.serverName and a timestamp. Field names stay English so admin logs remain consistent across locales.
