How to use the /Grief report
« on: 14 Oct 2012, 20:56:47 »
Hello there, I'm going to give you information on how to use the /Grief report properly. We have been having some problems with this of late, like players reporting griefs at main spawn, large amounts of grief reports on the same area, reporting any random grief in the wild, and in some cases you will have some troll grief reports.

I will show you how to use it and how not to use it.

HOW TO USE THE GRIEF COMMAND:

The command is, /grief
When you have been griefed walk up to the damaged area, when you use the command it will appear in our grief list. When we click on it, it will Tp us exactly at the place where you were standing. ONLY 1 REPORT IS NEEDED FOR EACH GRIEF! Making loads of grief reports for the same area will not make us come any faster, it doesn't work like that.
Another thing, after you have made a grief report, please don't ask us "can you come look at my grief now?" or "come fix my grief!". We will get to the grief as soon as we can, we haven't forgotten about you, we are just most likely very busy at that time.

IMPORTANT: If you insist on making loads of grief reports for the same area, you will most likely get banned for the misuse of the command.

NOTE: When you have made the report, you don't have to sit about waiting for us to come, we will get to it whenever possible. Also, please make sure that you are right next to the grief, don't use the command when you are nowhere near it. It can result in you being banned because when we get there it looks as if there is no grief.

GRIEF REPORTING:

We have been getting a lot of grief reports from players that just report any random thing in the wild, so I would like to make a common rule with you all.

1) Please use the grief report only for yourself, if you see something out in the wild that looks griefed to you, leave it alone. If the person that owns the griefed area wants to report it they can if they so wish.

2) If you have accidentally used the grief report, please do not just leave it, tell a staff member straight away so we can remove it. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, it can result in you getting banned for reporting false Griefs.

3) Please do not use the grief command for trolling. If you do this, you will be banned from the server.

Thank you for reading the grief report tutorial! I hope this helped you understand it a bit better.

Great guide Buckie, but there's just one thing I'm unsure of. How would I report multiple griefs, for instance, lets say I had a small town out in the wild, more than 2-3 houses were griefed, but they weren't in plane site of eachother? How would I report each destroyed area without being in trouble for too many /grief reports?

Just for future reference, I haven't had to use the tool before and don't plan doing so, but better safe than sound :).

Okay Jay, you have 3 different griefed areas, I have thought of a way that you can do this without getting into trouble.

If you have 3 griefed areas, use the /grief command close to all the griefed areas and leave a sign where I will be teleporting, telling me how many griefs and directing me to each one.

This should only be done if the griefs are very close together, otherwise make sure that you are using the /grief at the correct spot, making it easy for me to see the grief, you will never get into trouble if its done correctly.

NOTE: It also never hurts to put a sign next to us as well, this goes for any grief. It makes it a lot easy for us to understand what we need to fix.

Wait so if we accidently use it and don't tell the staff (I would assume so) would it be a permanent ban?

No, not a permanent ban, a temporary ban of 2 to 4 days most likely.

Ya know that's a very good question that I never considered Lol the only way that I can think of is trying to tell a player how to do it but instead of just telling them you are too lazy and you type /grief not ./grief that's the only way that I can think of XD

Just to clarify on the abuse of /grief.  Multiple /grief reports would be like 5 or 6 within a 30 min time frame to report the same location.  An errant /grief when you realize that it's not really grief at all will be viewed and most likely have a warning sent.  The best bet is to use the command only to report a grief, then contact a staff member if you feel it needs clarification or at least send one a /mail.  Posting signs is also a great way to explain what's going on if there are no staff online at the time of your /grief report
