Issuing Player Reports – ElyriaMC

This thread explains how to correctly submit a player report on the ElyriaMC network.
Please read all sections carefully before creating a report. Reports that do not follow these guidelines may be denied without review.

What You Need Before Submitting a Report

Before submitting a player report, make sure you have all of the following:

• The offender’s Minecraft username

  • If the player is nicked, you must include evidence of you using /realname on them at some point in your report.

• A clear understanding of which rule was broken.

• Valid evidence of the offence (see below).

• The date the evidence was collected.

What Is Considered Invalid Evidence

The following types of evidence will not be accepted:

• Cropped screenshots that only show part of the game.

  • All screenshots and recordings must be full-screen.

• Blurry screenshots where chat or the player’s username is unreadable.

• Video evidence with extremely low or choppy FPS.

• Blurry videos where staff cannot clearly identify the player or rule violation.

• Forged, staged, or misleading evidence.

• Edited evidence of any kind.

• Outdated evidence.

  • Reports must be submitted within 2 weeks of the offence.

• Evidence submitted by blacklisted players.

• Evidence that requires a download to view.

Reporting a Forums User

Please do not use the Player Reports section for forum-related issues.

Instead:

• Use the “Report” button on the specific forum post, or

• Use the “Report” button on the user’s forum profile.

When reporting through the forums, do not:

• Submit joke or fake reports.

• Report staff responses to appeals, player reports, purchase support tickets, or similar staff actions.

• Report users for invalid reasons.

  • Only report users who are violating the Forums or Communication Rules.

Submitting misuse reports may result in disciplinary action on the forums.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I report a player privately?

A: No. We do not accept private reports for in-game offences.
Please do not message staff members to submit private reports — you will be directed to the Player Reports section.

All player reports are confidential within the staff team and are not shared publicly.

Q: Can I report a staff member?

A: We do not currently have a formal staff reporting system.
If you have valid and sufficient evidence of staff misconduct, you may contact senior staff (Admins+) via Discord or a forum conversation.

This is taken seriously, so be prepared to provide clear evidence and answer follow-up questions if requested.

Q: Can I report Discord offences here?

A: Yes. Discord offences may be reported, provided you include valid, non-cropped evidence that clearly shows usernames, IDs, and the rule violation.

Q: Do I need timestamps for video evidence?

A: Yes — if your video is 2 minutes or longer, you must provide approximate timestamps showing when the offence occurs.
Failure to include timestamps may result in your report being denied and returned for resubmission.
