Investigation

Investigations is an advanced staff feature in SporeCore designed for handling complex cases that require tracking multiple players, reports, notes, and punishments in one place.

An investigation acts as a central workspace where staff can collect evidence, link related actions, and keep a clear audit trail of everything that happened.

hashtag
🚀 Starting an Investigation

Staff can create a new investigation using:

/investigation start <name> <priority>

hashtag
🔹 Priorities

Each investigation has a priority level to help staff organize their workload:

  • HIGH – Urgent or serious cases

  • NORMAL – Standard investigations

  • LOW – Minor or informational cases

Once created, the investigation is marked as In Progress and opens the management menu automatically.

hashtag
📂 Investigation Contents

Each investigation can contain multiple types of linked information.

hashtag
📝 Notes

Notes are used to document findings, staff thoughts, or important details.

  • Notes store:

    • Title

    • Full text

    • Author

    • Timestamp

  • Notes can be added and removed at any time.

  • Every note action is logged in the investigation logs.

hashtag
📣 Linked Reports

Reports can be attached to an investigation to give context or show player history.

  • Only existing reports can be linked.

  • Reports can also be removed if they’re no longer relevant.

  • Report actions are tracked in the logs.

  • Requires the Reports feature to be enabled.

This is especially useful when multiple reports are related to the same situation.

hashtag
⚖️ Linked Punishments

Punishments can be linked to an investigation to show what action was taken as a result.

  • Supports all punishment types.

  • Prevents the same punishment from being linked twice.

  • Punishment lookup is done by punishment ID.

  • Requires the Punishments feature to be enabled.

This helps keep a clear record of why a punishment happened.

hashtag
👤 Suspects

Suspects represent players involved in the investigation.

  • Suspects must be known players who have joined the server before.

  • Each suspect includes:

    • Player

    • Description

    • Who added them

    • Timestamp

  • Suspects can be added or removed freely.

  • All changes are logged.

This allows staff to track multiple involved players in one case.

hashtag
🧑‍⚖️ Staff & Admin

Investigations support staff roles internally:

  • Admin – Investigation creators and administrators

  • Staff – Assigned staff members

These roles control who can manage and interact with the investigation.

hashtag
📜 Investigation Logs

Every important action inside an investigation is automatically logged.

hashtag
🔹 Logged Actions Include:

  • Investigation creation

hashtag
🔹 Log Types

Logs are grouped by type for easier filtering:

  • Started

  • Staff

  • Note

  • Report

This ensures full transparency and makes reviewing past decisions easy.

Instead of relying on memory or scattered messages, everything stays organized in one place.
