Reports & Grievances Guidelines
This forum board is for reporting griefing incidents, stolen items, and other player conflicts.
You may also report cheating/hacking/exploits made by other players that have a negative impact on the server.

This board is also a place specifically for complaints and grievances arising from harassment or abuse from staff.



Note: Please post in active Report/Grievance threads constructively in a worthwhile manner as long as the threads are still unresolved. Intervening in active unresolved reports/grievances with irrelevant posts that are not important to the thread may result in an immediate forum temporary ban or warning. Please, though, post useful information, observations, and interpretations if they add to the thread. While this board will not be as strict as the Ban Appeals board in enforcing these guidelines, please follow them to help staff and fellow players.

How to take & post screenshots:
Written by xxbabygirlstar

Step one:
Go to the scene of the accident. If you are using logblock to file a grief report, hit “t” so the full chat window is visible on your screen.

Step two:
Hit the F2 key. This stores your screenshots in a folder for easy access. The screenshots are time stamped.

Step three:
Go to any image uploading site. This walkthrough is going to explain tinypic (http://tinypic.com), since it’s the easiest.

Step four:
To find your screenshot, hit browse. To access the folder your screenshots are hidden in, click the white box where it shows your current location in your computer. It will highlight like mine has below:

From there, type %appdata% and hit enter. It will take you to your Appdata -> Roaming folder. Then you click .minecraft -> screenshots and find your screenshot there. Double click to enter it in the upload picture box.

Step five:
Click upload now and fill out the captcha

Step six:
Take the code in the box that says “IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards” and copy it

Step seven:
Paste it into your report post.

Congratulations, you know how to properly take and post screenshots!
