How to actually report a player on the forum

#1 » Post by Gnurg » 15 Jan 2016 12:52

In response to: http://www.truewow.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 02&t=16523

Should you report a player through a PM to a staff member, it's a chance that it will be ignored/forgotten as there is no rush to confront the public eye. The accused does as well have no chance of defending themselves making it a less righteous process.


You use the sub-forum Player Reports as that is what the description of the sub-forum says: "Here you can report rule-breakers or any other undesired player behaviour."

You report should contain:
  • Name of who you report
  • What you report them for
  • Some solid evidence.
An example:

I am reporting Monkey for stealing two bananas.

Here is my evidence.

Haha i liked the example.

though in this server the monkey will not go to jail/punished by saying that he actually paid for it and SS cant prove that he didnt pay for it before it was taken xd

Meh there should be clear rules that
1) players have to follow a very specific report format
2) no one but DIRECT involved players should be allowed to post. Unless they were there or directly affected (not indirectly like "omg my heart was crushed coz he's a guildie!!") they shouldn't be allowed to post.

Some other communities have those kind of ways to handle reports. Hopefully gms will read both the thing you did above and this semi suggestion of mine. It's annoying to see everytime someone reports xtreme, half server has to comment unrelated stuff. :D not defending him lol

I'd say that trying is the best one can do in order to higher themselves from the people crying and only complaining. Whilst you try, it doesn't mean it is always going to be the most successful result but I'd like to think that it is still a better choice than standing idle.

and than a GM/player will say:

no prove that the monkey in this video did not pay 10 sec before the video therefor theres no evidence locking topic, monkey you are free to go.

or that the monkey is from egypt and in egypt they dont have bananas so he cant steal one video is fake, or that the banana was belong to the monkey and the real thief is that human there in the video xd.

There already is the guidelines thread (which I doubt anyone reads) so I think more of them is unnecessary at this time (even because I doubt people would read it anyway, it's better if they stick to reading the official thread).
