Private Player Reporting
« on: 26 Jan 2013, 23:24:04 »
As a few of you may have already noticed the Report User board has gone. You are now able to report players, for breaking the rules, privately between just yourself and the staff team.

This can be done at http://www.noobscraft.com/report/ using the form to the right. This is to replace the old board for reporting users which previously could be viewed by any member. This new system allows you to report players without any other players finding out.

I hope you get used to the new system and find it much more helpful than our old board. If you have any questions regarding it please feel free to reply to this topic or PM me.

It is a cool idea but don't you think some people would like to comment on their "report user" if they were the player that got reported? in case they were reported for no reason at all etc.

With this system the reported player can't really try and tell the reasons why they did what they did etc, it is more private and keeps players that got nothing to do with the set report out of it but idk really.

Well considering we wouldn't act on a report unless the proof provided was sufficient enough to actually show that the player has been breaking rules, I think the player wouldn't need to have to respond to it.

In the other situations where a report would need to be investigated I'm sure the moderator who looked at the report would look into the matter first, perhaps question the player if necessary, and any other precautions to make sure that the report is valid before actually moving to ban or warn the player reported.

The time for a player to dispute the report would come if the moderator found that the player was to be given punishment (Ie suspension of account or ban). In which case they would need to then explain why they took the action of breaking the rules, request to be unbanned if so, or request to be informed of why they were banned so they would further know.

Since we wouldn't act on a report such as "X was griefing", and X was not griefing and there was no proof at all provided by the reporter, X would not need to worry that they were reported at all. With this new privacy policy someone wouldn't have to feel upset that someone would falsely report them, or a reporter wouldn't have to be upset that they're reporting a friend when the friend could see it.
