/report turned off

There are occasions to leave a report for the server owner, obviously. What is not obvious to me is why the /report command would be disabled?

Is it because an owner doesn't want to be spammed with nonsense? Or doesn't want to be bothered with feedback?

Not a serious issue, but I am curious.

The way I see it, here are the possibilities:

1. The owner is too lazy to set it up.
2. The owner doesn't know how to set it up.
3. The owner deliberately doesn't want to set it up, for any number of reasons that are only possible to verify by interviewing all server owners.

It defaults to being off because a filename has to be specified.

yeah, you need to specify -reportfile "reports.txt" and create an empty file reports.txt in the bzflag dir. That way, /report will be enabled.
