There doesn't seem to be a report username on the profile and no sticky threads in The Site forum. So I'd like to report someone who is attacking another runner with their username. And I personally don't like that and would not like that to be representative of the community if they are on the leaderboards.

I agree that there should be a report username option, though I have a feeling its the same person, considering that the og account hasn't been logged into in 2 years.

Reporting a user through a button would be abused like crazy and would cause more headaches for staff than anything else. In a case like this, it’s better off messaging the full mods on say discord and letting them know so they can deal with it accordingly.

It's of a game I moderate for and would not like someone with a trolling name like that to be on there. Like many others I want it to be a friendly community and this is going against that.

Yeaaaaaaah that would get abused like crazy. Just contact the SRC mods on discord

I removed the account. It was only created 13 hours ago.

They can come back with an appropriate username.

Liv then can I suggest a thread for reports? And to state that they must be legitimate cases and why they are being reported. If possible also give evidence of anything like cheating.

I wouldn't use this one instance as a case for adding a report button. Contacting the mods seems sufficient.

Just DMing a full mod or admin should be sufficient I would say, like Komrade says.

Some people accuse of cheating and they have absolutely no idea if it's even cheating or not, so I don't think having a callout thread in that manner would be the best idea. In instances of cheating, game mods for the particular game should be made aware and they'll likely contact a mod/admin if aything comes out of it or reject the run.

what do i do if there's only one mod for a game, and they're doing their job wrong?

@killerbunny339 Message that mod to ask for clarification on whatever your issue is. Likely there is a reasonable explanation.

Given that you haven’t submitted any runs yet, I’m guessing the problem is nothing serious.

@preston456 if you made a report about me, then I'm not going to get banned. You've messaged me about how I am mod farming when I'm not. You said that I added Adventure Time games with no runners for no reason. 1. I am a series moderator for Adventure Time meaning @Funado and me take care and add games to the series. 2. Just because I add a game doesn't mean there will be runners. Not all games have more than 2 runners on the site. 3. There are around 10 or more Adventure Time games that I could've added but they were horrible speedrun games. I will admit I have mod farmed before, and I am ashamed about it. I currently have removed myself from all of the games I haven't cared about. So after all of this can you please stop messaging me saying I'm mod farming. Thanks.
