How to properly report a player and what reaction to wait

Whenever you see a player misbehaving or breaking a server rule, best thing you can do is to report that player.
In order to do that, the following command was given: /report <ID> <Reason>.

- Whenever you submit a report, you automatically receive a message saying:
Your report message was sent to online administrators, thank you.

That means that an online administrator is looking into your report, therefore you should have some patience.

What you should NOT do when reporting someone

Please do not:

- Flood the /report command, once is enough.
- Swear or insult in the reports
- Disrespect the admin team or the reported player
- Demand a punishment
- Rule-break in revenge towards the reported person

Things you should also consider: The administration team, is a team of humans. Administrators also sometimes make mistakes, however, please remain calm when you are interacting with them, or want to report someone.

I reported a player! Why isn't he getting punished?

This is a common situation these days. Lots of people who report others do not see a public /warn or /kick message being used on the reported player(s) and often start fighting with administrators demanding punishment. Please avoid provoking administrators. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are angry and you are about to demand a punishment for the person you reported and believe that the report did not affect the person report, please understand that you should remain clam and not attempt to insult or provoke anyone. If you cannot control emotions it is advised that it is better to leave the game, rather than start a fight. If you ask an administrator regarding the action taken and you are told that (s)he got a verbal warning, that means that the administrator did speak to him and warned him. You should also consider that most of the punishments carried out are not always seen in public. Note that the admin team is encouraged to communicate with the reported players and not to immediately rush to punishing.

Hope this will help you :)

Really helpful but adding "how to take an SS and post it on the forums through a complaint" would make it more and more perfect. As for the time being, everything is fine, good job.
