===Trolling===
+
'''Step 6:''' (Optional) It is recommend that you attach screenshots (especially with stuff circled, and other annotations) of the crime occurring.
−
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:
+
'''Step 7:''' Post the report and wait for a moderator response.
−
* "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|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:
+
−
* "my brother was the [[Godfather|GF]], and he says Deantwo is [[Serial Killer|SK]]."
+
−
 
+
−
'''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:
+
−
* "You got me. Boss is [[Godfather]] and Deantwo is [[Janitor]], kill them next."
+
−
 
+
−
'''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
+
−
 
+
−
[http://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/forumdisplay.php/137-Watch-List 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.)

How To Write A Report

Source

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.

(see the list of crimes on the Rules page)

Step 3: Make the thread subject according to the following template:

Template:
Offender Username: #-S2-1-#######
Example:
JoeGreen: 1-S2-1-1234567
Example (Multiple Offenders):
JoeGreen: 1-S2-1-1234567, Tinny: 1-S2-1-7654321

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 days. Clearly, this is a cut-and-dry case of game-throwing.
Example (Multiple Offenders):
[b]Account Name:[/b] JoeGreen
[b]Account ID:[/b] 1-S2-1-1234567
[b]In-Game Name:[/b] Pelvic Thrust

[b]Account Name:[/b] Tinny
[b]Account ID:[/b] 1-S2-1-7654321
[b]In-Game Name:[/b] Johnny Ballz

[b]Crimes Committed:[/b] Skyping

[b]Your Account Name:[/b] DarkRevenant
[b]Summary:[/b] They heal each other continuously starting from Night 1. Ignoring better heal targets such as the confirmed Sheriff and Mayor. They admit they are skyping at the end.

Step 5: (IMPORTANT!) Attach a replay of the game in which this player committed the crime(s).

Your report will be ignored if you do not have a replay!

StarCraft II keeps the last 25 replays that have not been saved by you, so if you forgot to create a named replay in-game, you can still find it.

It is generally better to save the replay in the StarCraftII client with a unique file name so you can easily locate it instead of remembering which 

  -Mafia- (#)

replay the crime occurs in.

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:
The library folder is hidden in Finder by default. Open the "Go" menu in Finder and hold down the option-alt key. The Library option should show up.

Another way to get to the StarCraftII folder is to use the "Go To Folder" feature. Open Finder and click "Go" on the top, scroll to "Go To Folder..." and open it. Copy paste in "~/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft II/" without the quotation marks. Then go into \Accounts\#######\#-S2-1-#######\Replays\Unsaved\Multiplayer[

Saved replays will be found in the 

  \StarCraft II\Accounts\#######\#-S2-1-#######\Replays\Multiplayer\

folder in both Mac OS X and Windows. If you wish to study the replay yourself make sure to view it in a player's perspective.

Step 6: (Optional) It is 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.
