Default Petitions Improved

Guys and Gals,

I'm actually starting a php project to improve the petition system. I think we can all agree that the system needs quite a bit of work. Though I'm unable to really manipulate/develop anything inside the source of EQEMU I have developed an idea I think will help outside the client itself.

Here are a few key features:

1. admin/staff access is controlled via EQEMU database (via access levels) or a stand-alone database.
2. A cron will be running to constantly check for new petitions (of course you can customize your cron to check every second or every 30 mins), in the event a new petition is queried, an email will be sent to the staff (We can even go as far as to send out instant messages, pages, cellphone, text messages but not a high priority development issue).
3. Clients can reply to the petitions via a webpage that will use their LS account name as their user name and character as the password (So mini-login users and public servers can take advantage of this).
4. Many other features to be added like, escalations to higher GM's, bugs, etc.
