How to report someone properly efficiently, and (most of the time) get a response fast!
ok cool. so you found someone doing something on the server that is breaking the rules. first, consider these few things:
Is the rule breaking done on a PlayerServer?
- If this is on a playerserver, you shouldn't report it to Cubed Staff UNLESS:
> it is /msg spamming
> it is being EXTREMELY rude or threatening (ddos threat, death threat ect.)
> griefing
Is the rule that is being broken hacking or such?
- If it is, try your best to get evidence (photos, videos, even gifs) this is needed for evidence for Hackers, ect.
The next step is reporting itself, there are a few ways to do that, all come with their benefits and disadvantages:
In-game report (/report):
+ it's the fastest f you can't access other forms of cubedcraft media (discord, forums ect.)
- if there are no staff online, it might be a while before one sees the report
- You can't post pictures, evidence (unless the evidence is a link) in the command
Discord Report:
+ Fast, simple
+ You can tag staff to get their attention, even if they aren't online in the server
+ Much more convenient
+ You can post evidence there with links, pictures ect.
- You must be over the age of 13 to use Discord
- Can sometimes go unseen by staff if the channel you reported it in is flooded
Forum Report:
+ You can post pictures (though most of the time it fails to upload the pictures) and evidence
+ Won't get flooded, easily noticable
- VERY inconvenient (need to register account if you don't have one)
- Slower to be replied to (this doesn't notify online staff in any way, they will just have to notice your report eventually)
yup, those are the 3 methods (well there is another of /msg online staff but that's basically /report)
when writing your report in the forum or discord, try following this template:
In-game name: (YOUR NAME)
Reporting: (RULE BREAKER'S NAME)
Reason: (REASON)
Time of rule breaking: (TIME) [this isn't really needed, but helpful to make things faster for staff]
Evidence [if any]: (LINK/PHOTO)
NOTES:
- i think it's best to combine the in-game /report with a secondary type of report (forum or discord report)
- please make sure you have a valid reason to report a player
- yup, this is the end.
EDITS:
- added a format for reporting someone
- removed having to have discord installed on ur device (credit to vectoring for pointing out mistake)
