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.

(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.

-==Crimes==
-===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:
-* Yelling random things to confuse people.
-: "RED IS ALWAYS EVIL!"
-'''Severity:''' None (Yep, that's right, nothing will happen to regular trolls.)
-===Role-Quitting===
-'''Role-Quitting''' means to leave a game for the sole reason of not wanting to play the role you have been given.
-Example:
-* Leaving the game after seeing you have gotten a role you hate.
-: "[[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:
-* Purposely lagging the game
-* Custom name that's so large none can read what you say.
-* Spam target at hyperspeed to spam chat, making comrades unable to communicate.
-'''Severity:''' Medium
-===Game-Throwing===
-'''Game-Throwing''' means "playing to lose", in other words ruining the game for your team-mates. Game-Throwing can be considered somewhat ok if you are [[Serial Killer]], [[Arsonist]], [[Mass Murderer]] or [[Witch]] cause you don't have any team-mates.
-Example:
-* As [[Mafia]], [[Town]], or [[Cultist|Cult]]: purposely trying to get lynched.
-* As [[Mafia]] or [[Cultist|Cult]]: sharing the identity of other players so your team loses.
-** [[Mafioso]] being lynched, as he's last words he says who he's teammates are.
-*: "Boss is [[Godfather]] and Deantwo is [[Janitor]], kill them next."
-* As [[Town]]: lynching, shooting, or executing someone you know is in the [[Town]].
-* Remaining AFK and/or refusing to help your team.
-'''Severity:''' High
-===Cheating===
-'''Skyping''' means the person(s) is using outside-of-game communication such as Skype, "Battle.Net Party Chat" or "Game Lag Chat" to communicate about the current game. Talking and playing with friends isn't against the rules, but telling each other information is.
-Example:
-* Two friends playing together even thought they aren't on the same team.
-** [[Mayor]] and [[Godfather]] helping each other.
-** In an external chat: "hey Bro! i was the [[Godfather|GF]] and couldn't kill Mugy7! Mugy7 is the [[Serial Killer|SK]]!"
-** "my brother is the [[Godfather|GF]], and he says Mugy7 is [[Serial Killer|SK]], reveal and lynch him"
-* Using the "Lag Chat" to talk about '''anything''' to do with the game is also forbidden, this includes things like "RED IS MAFIA", "stupid mayor should be lynching orange, not green", etc.
-'''Severity:''' High
-===Abuse===
-'''Abuse''' is using special privileges such as "No Name Restrictions" or "Moderator abilities" in a way that negatively affects the game. This includes kicking people at random, cheating with the mod message system, etc. This can also cover abusing [[Unlockables]].
-Example:
-* Abusing moderator abilities.
-* Using the same name and [[Commands#Perfer|preferring]] the same role multiple times in a row.
-* Having a ridiculously [[Color Name|long name]] which blocks out the graveyard.
-'''Severity:''' Very High
-===Hacking===
-'''Hacking''' can mean many things, but the most general case of hacking is "Point Hacking".
-Example:
-* Modifying Bank files to gain points.
-: For example, modifiying your bank file so you have 20k points, enabling you to use [[Commands#Blacklist|'''-blacklist''']] and [[Commands#Prefer|'''-prefer''']].
-* Using 3rd-party programs to cheat, for example:
-: Using a program to reveal all the player's roles.
-'''Severity:''' Very High
