As you all know by reading the official thread about in-game Exploits/Griefing here-
http://mwomercs.com/...ploitsgriefing/

It is mentioned that the moderators need the following when we submit a report.

When submitting your ticket, if possible - provide a screenshot or video of the transgression in question. Please be sure to provide the following information:
-Time/date (and time zone)
-Map
-Mech used
-List of offending players
It speeds up the process and helps us tremendously!

If we had an ingame clock which also shows date then a single screenshot would show more accurate information.
Rather than having a player who might be a child figure out timezones when submiting the report the screenshot could give that info much more accuratly down to the minute or even seconds.

As for the timezone. You could just chose were you live and the game automaticly figures out your timezone. Easy.

It could also show the mapname/planet to make it easier for the moderators.

The clock doesn't need to cover a huge part of the HUD. It could even be switched off if the player wanted it.
It could show us the time of the ingame universe rather than real life time so immersion is not "broken".

All in all this will make submiting reports easier and faster.

The in-game clock should simply be Zulu (UTC) based.
