Report Player
If you have been involved in an incident with another player who has broken a server rule on purpose then this is where you need to post your report on them. Please think carefully on whether you actually need to report them or not. Have you tried resolving the issue yourself by talking to them? This forum should be a LAST RESORT if you cannot resolve a situation yourself or if it gets hostile.
This is NOT the place to question other people's roleplay or to make assumptions on what happened. If you have solid proof and players have been negatively affected by what has happened, then it will be investigated and resolved via our Admin team.
Does my situation warrant a player report?
Before you make a thread, ask yourself the following 5 questions:
Has the player hacked?
Has the player massively impacted negatively upon your role-play and caused you to lose
something?
Has the person broken a server rule on PURPOSE?
Has the player being reported really offended you via their comments?
Has the player abused any server bugs?
If the answer is YES to either of those questions above then please read on. If not, then you are in the wrong place and should not be continuing with submitting a report on a player. If you continue and submit a report knowing full well that your problem is not report worthy, you may find yourself being the one landed in trouble. Remember that admins have to take a lot of time to investigate reports and will not tolerate having petty reports being posted in disregard of these guidelines set out before you. If you are called a "noob" or an "idiot" then just get over it. Learn to ignore others and not take everything to heart.
Similarly, if the player is new and has done something without knowing then please just tell them or teach them what to do next time. There is no need to report others just out of spite to get them punished. Help eachother and remember what it is like to be new. The majority of the time players do not know they have broken a rule in doing what they did, so calmly explain to them what they have done and they will most likely apologise and offer some sort of option for you both to take in how to proceed. For example, if someone has ninjajacked your car with no RP, simply tell them they have broken a rule and should return it. If the situation gets hostile, THEN post it here and not before. Likewise if they return it and apologise then do not post a report on them.
Reports on PD/SD/FBI
NOTE: If you need to report police officers/faction members for any problems, then please send it directly to their faction leader. Reports here are ONLY for those who have broken the official server rules, and not for those who have broken IC/individual faction rules. For more information on reporting PD/SD/FBI, please see THIS thread.
Reports on Factions
Similarly, reports on factions for faction violations will need to be sent to the Head of Factions. More information can be found in THIS thread.
Making your report
Please check this thread for a list of all the IG Server Rules. You will need to know the rule number which has been broken.
Please use the following template when constructing a report. More information on how to fill out each question is listed below. Fill out each and every section as fully as you can. Do not treat the thread as a skype conversation - be clear and concise and include all the necessary information in the first post if you can. - Code:
