1.3 How to report someone correctly

Report incidents that happen at private channels at the appropriate place) Reason: Replay/Screenshots: Sample Ban Request Thread title: SkyF!r3 leaving

Username: SkyF!r3 Room: (Europe) Public Reason: Maphacker Replay/Screenshots: http://www.adotaparser.com/dota-replay/51358 Valid form for the Thread title: <user name> <incident>, see Paragraph 1.2 for the incidents (leaving, flaming, ruining, bug abusing, hacking, afking)

Important Notes:

1) Type in proper English and make sure that the user name you report is 100% correct and legit, so as to make sure the ban is done for the proper user. 2) Requests which do not follow the rules laid in this thread won't be entertained and closed immediately. 3) While reporting make sure you aren't repeating the same ban request as done by others. Try to go through the section once quickly. It would hardly take a minute. 4) If you are reporting maphackers, try to give as much information as you can. For example timestamps with suspicious incidents. 5) Do not report for bad playing. It is not a ban-able offense in public rooms. 6) Upload the replay at http://www.adotaparser.com/upload or add it as an attachment. 7) Disrespectful Requests or requests lacking manners like "Stupid Leavers" will be denied. 8) Always make a new request for a different game. 9) All decisions made by the Admins are final.
