Important Notes
Remember a few things when it comes to reports:
- We, The Staff, are not to discuss any Take Action Response to a Report outside of the Reportee. Once you submit the Report, it is no longer in your hands.
- It is only by our Ruling that an Occurrence becomes an Infraction.
- You, the Reporter, will NEVER decide the Take Action Response that we conduct for an Occurrence.
- Some Occurrences are handled on a Case-By-Case basis. This may include concerns about how the Reportee is playing a certain character or similar.
- When you Report an individual, you must specify a Reason for doing so. See the Report form below.
- All Reports MUST be given to The Staff AS A COLLECTIVE, unless specified differently by an Administrator. This means that any Report you send must be seen and reviewed by all of us.
Here is how to PROPERLY submit a Report to the staff:
