So about the report system

Post by SomebadCandy933 »

As some of you know I am perma gagged and muted on all your servers. How ever I still do what I can to deal with rulebreakers. I have 3 admins on my friends list and whenever there is a problem I contact them about it. Pornsprays, spawncamping, mic spam, hackers. Yet there is only so much they can do. I won't mention their names unless I am told to by another admin or anyone in charge but often times when there is a problem they are either afk on another game or offline. My point is I would like for people with my punishment to be able to use the report system. I know other people can use the report system but often times an admin doesn't show up and by the time the admin joins the server the rule breaker has left. Ill leave it up to you guys.

Without knowing much behind the coding, I can take a pretty good guess as to why this can't happen.

Giving people that are permanently gagged/silenced the ability to report players would be opening two cans of worms; one is a difficulty to communicate with said gagged/silenced user, the other is giving them one last way to annoy admins with a false report. Thanks to the former, many cases of that can easily be seen as false reporting, which...I assume would lead to a permanent ban at that point for continuing annoyance past their original punishment.

If you do feel as if you should continue helping the server despite your punishment (or one better, maybe appeal it in Reports/Disputes if you think it's unfair or could use a reduction for various reasons), set up your settings to always record demos while you play, then post an official forum report. Sure it takes time away from the game if you decide to act upon it a bit quickly, but considering your limitations, it currently seems like your only option.

Ummmm. I got a you tube channel I can upload rule breakers on. But I have a guy that checks my screenshots of pornsprays.

guessing you were silenced for a good reason?
if you type /report into chat it should work.
Otherwise, type sm_report into the console.

If that still doesn't work, just record demos, upload proof and report them on the forums.

The report system blocks those who have communication punishments from using it due to the reasons stated by HankHill. We will not be changing it, or making certain people have exceptions to the rule. If you think your punishment is too severe, feel free to file a dispute in our Reports/Ban Disputes section.
