How To Write A Report
Report Format
Step 1: Create a thread in the Mafia Player Reports section of the forum (Use this link). You will have to be signed in as a user on the forum or your report will be ignored.
Step 2: Set the thread prefix to whichever crime you are reporting the user of.
Step 3: Make the thread subject according to the following template:
Template: |
---|
Offender Username: #-S2-1-####### |
Example: |
JoeGreen: 1-S2-1-1234567 |
Step 4: Paste the following into the body of the thread and then fill in the form:
Template: |
---|
[b]Account Name:[/b] [b]Account ID:[/b] [b]In-Game Name:[/b] [b]Crimes Committed:[/b] [b]Your Account Name:[/b] [b]Summary:[/b] |
Example: |
[b]Account Name:[/b] JoeGreen [b]Account ID:[/b] 1-S2-1-1234567 [b]In-Game Name:[/b] Pelvic Thrust [b]Crimes Committed:[/b] Game-Throwing [b]Your Account Name:[/b] DarkRevenant [b]Summary:[/b] At the beginning of the game, he repeatedly posted the names of all of the Mafia, then left. The Mafia were then lynched on the following two games. Clearly, this is a cut-and-dry case of game-throwing. |
Step 5: (IMPORTANT!) Attach a replay of the game in which this player committed the crime(s). StarCraft II automatically saves replays, so if you forgot to create a named replay in-game, you can still find it. Unsaved replays can be found in
Windows: |
---|
\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\#######\#-S2-1-#######\Replays\Unsaved\Multiplayer |
Mac: |
\Users\"Your username here"\Library\Application Support\Blizzard\Starcraft II\Accounts\######\#-S2-#-#######\Replays\Unsaved\Multiplayer\
Note to users of Mac OS X 10.7 and above: |
Make sure to view from a player's perspective in order to see the game in a replay.
Step 6: (Optional) I highly recommend that you attach screenshots (especially with stuff circled, and other annotations) of the crime occurring.
Step 7: Post the report and wait for a moderator response.
Crimes
These are general guidelines. There are some rare, unlisted crimes that are given punishments based on severity.
General crimes sorted by severity:
Trolling
Trolling is acting like an idiot for the pursuit of hilarity, or otherwise screwing with people in a manner that does not ruin the game.
Example:
- "RED IS ALWAYS EVIL!"
Severity: None (Yep, that's right, nothing will happen to regular trolls.)
Role-Quitting
This one is obvious. This is for all those people who ruin games and setups by leaving just after seeing their role card.
Example:
- "DOCTOR? Fuck this, I'm out."
Severity: Low (Role ragequitters are bad people. But don't bother reporting them.)
Griefing
Griefing is similar to trolling, but actually results in the game being ruined. This is trolling taken too far.
Example:
- Person is not actually sheriff, red is actually not mafia. "I AM SHERIFF, RED IS MAFIA"
Severity: Medium
Cheating
Cheating is using methods unintended by the game (such as abusing Skype, lag screen, or forcing players to read their role cards) to gain an unfair advantage over other players.
Example:
Severity: High
Game-Throwing
This is intentionally playing to lose. An example of this is a Mafioso giving out the names of his fellow Mafia to the town during his trial.
Example:
Severity: High
Abuse
Abuse is abusing donor or (more seriously) moderator abilities. This includes kicking people at random, cheating with the mod message system, etc.
Severity: Very High
Hacking
Hacking is obvious: getting moderator abilities, modifying bank files, mining players' roles, etc. are all examples of this.
Severity: Very High
Punishments
Watch List is a list on the website. For various reasons, people on the watchlist are no longer added to a list in-game, to save time and effort and focus on the real punishments: kick-vote and ban lists.
Watch List
Low or Medium Severity: Multiple reports
High Severity: A confirmed report
Very High Severity: A credible report
Click Here to visit the Forum for Watch-list Reports
Point Ban
A player will receive a point ban if he/she is found to have modified their bank file to gain points unfairly.
Duration in days is equal to the number of points gained unfairly.
Kick-Vote List
Medium Severity: A confirmed report and a criminal history
High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports or a criminal history
Very High Severity: By Administrator decision
Ban List
High Severity: Multiple confirmed reports and a criminal history
Very High Severity: By Administrator decision
Punished Players and Appeals
The punished players and appeals forum contains threads for approved Point Ban, Kick-Vote list and Ban-List reports.
This forum gives players the opportunity to appeal their sentence.

Length of Punishments
Dropping from Ban List to KickVote List or from KickVote List to Watch List will result in a sentence equal to double the time spent in the previous punishment level (i.e. someone sentenced to 2 weeks in the KickVote List will then have 4 weeks in the Watch List after the first term is up.)
