Is there a way to report ERP?

Erotic Role Playing. There is a famous one of these going around involving the /sit emote, thanks for not including a /lay emote.
Is there an option one would choose to "complain" / report players doing this? I remember trying to get around to this issue and was just reminded of it a bit ago. I don't think there is a specific button to actually report people for ERP as it is sort of set apart from other childish acts, as the GMs just reading recent text won't really let them know what was actually going on. It is sort of childish, and I like to keep the streets of Haven clean.
However, I do realize that trying to get actual proof is important. Some of the time, people don't say anything. Some of the time, I doubt where they are standing and sitting was intentional, so it usually takes some sort of sounds that they make in chat as it tends to be just one person's wrongdoing and not the other. In this case, it is still somewhat hard to truly provide proof with text alone.
Would an option to provide additional notes along with reporting someone fix this? Or do developers actually get to see what the shameful knights were doing from some sort of picture at the time of the complaint? I am not really sure how the whole "complain" system works, to be honest.
Could this thread be locked after an answer?

They said they have some new recording systems, so they may be able to see emotes in the records provided you report quickly enough.

If it's happening a lot, report it and a GM can come look. If there are chat logs, those get sent along with the complaint. I've used this system to report inappropriate behavior before, and it seemed to be effective.

Think
I think it only involves the /sit emote, which doesn't add anything to chat. Guessing that won't appear in their logs but I have no way of knowing for certain.

...I agree that can be inappropriate, but i'm curious about one thing. On what grounds would you declare it harassment or such? I remember some friends and I were pretending to get up and fall down from the stairs, and nobody thought it was anything messed up.

But do they only get to see text? Likely, no action would be taken as they would be confused.

Would video proof suffice?
I know some cannot record, but this method could help.
I know if you spam /sit too much it makes your voice hoarse(lol?), so there must be a way to track it.

Yeah, going so far as to
Yeah, going so far as to record a video is some true dedication there LOL +1 to you for the idea, sir.
Would love the GMs to help us crack down on ERP.
Until then, wow. So many useless threads in General Discussion.

So srs.
As long as both players agree on it, I guess it's fine??
If it were like this we should ban vana for dashing into us with his lower regions and pinning us in a corner then repetately slamming his (fire) balls against us till he knocks us out.
Rough one he is.
Oh and slags+wall action too.

@Tersakoff
ERP is considered any sexual act that happens between or among players which can be viewed by the public.

Does this have to do with the cat tails?

They made it themselves, ok??
I imagine it would fall under harassment. If so, I'm not sure if it's something you can report as a third party. I can see some people arguing for the sake of inappropriate content or misbehaving but I'm not sure if either of those will really fly. Really could use a GM's input on this one.
