azerothcore
Feature: [Module] Log RDF meta data
Describe your feature request or suggestion in detail
When players are automatically invited to a RDF group, the meta data of these events should be stored:
- who joined/refused to join(playerGuid) and when (timestamp)
- who left(playerGuid), also when (timestamp) and how (left on purpose, was kicked or disconnected)
- what dungeon/raid
An optional config flag is required to turn the feature on.
Describe a possible solution to your Feature or Suggestion in detail
Storing the relevant data in the database would be convenient, as long as all above criteria regarding content and readability are met.
Additional context
it would be nice to have this as a module, I'll add a bounty on this later
Why module? We already log chat, gm commands, etc, just add a new config like them?

I can live with a new config for this. But, ideally, we should always have this kind of feature as a module.
Yes, I know, we already have plenty of similar features in the core. That's both for historical reasons (before AzerothCore there were no modules in mangos/trinitycore) and because it's simpler for some people to just throw features inside the core (partially it's also our fault, as the module and hooks system hasn't been properly documented so far - but we are working to improve that).
Modular software is easier to be maintained and there are a lot of benefits in splitting the code into modules instead of having a big "monster".
