- Find players by there SteamID (Aka Unique ID) here.
- Find out if players are already punished here.
- If you have multiple players to report, you may report them in one single thread. If you believe this report needs its own separate thread, you may create one.
- Make sure the player you are reporting is aware of the rule is broken. You should preferably warn before reporting someone. Exempt from this is hacking & racism reports.
- One piece of evidence may not be enough to be considered if a punishment is required. It is advised that you include as much evidence as possible. Warnings, Screenshots and Timestamps of multiple cases of rule breaking helps both player and admin in making a fair judgement on those reported.
