General Information

How to Report a Player

• Reports on forums/Discord require a minimum 3-5 minute clip leading up to the rule break plus the full rule break clip.
• Any evidence tampering to incriminate another party is strictly enforced and not welcome. Both parties may be punished for their own rule breaks.
• You may also place a report in Discord by opening a support ticket.
• Be cooperative in tickets so staff can handle matters quickly and effectively.
• Use /report in-game for smaller offenses when staff are online.
• For serious rule breaks, create a Discord ticket.
• Clips without proper audio will be dismissed.

In Roleplay Terms
