Abuse Report Format & Information
This details everything pertaining to reporting abuse or misconduct by staff members.​

What Qualifies as Abuse or Misconduct?
There's a variety of things that are considered abuse or misconduct by community staff members. While the term is very general, we have a few guidelines to go by:

• Rule Violations
  When a staff member violates the rules while appointed to enforce them, we consider it to be misconduct. Some rules are exempt, such as rules applying numerical limits or thresholds. This is judged on a case-by-case basis.
• Misuse of Privileges
  Staff members, including gamemasters, are given access to a significant amount of tools to help them perform their job. In the list of tools given to them there are commands targeting other players, lifted limits, access to sensitive information (e.g. linked accounts) and so forth. Misusing those privileges is grounds for immediate removal from the staff team.
• Inappropriate Behavior
  Staff members represent LimeFruit and are such are held to higher standards regarding conduct. If a staff member behaves in a way that is not necessarily a rule violation, but that you find to be rude, inappropriate, belittling or so forth, they are likely in violation of this standard.

How to Report Abuse
There are two ways to report an abusive staff member, depending on the content of the report.

1. Public Reports
For transparency purposes, we prefer all reports to be public, posted in the Abuse Reports section.
These reports will be handled from start to finish in public, including verdicts and any disciplinary action.
If you'd like to know how we handle disciplinary action, please refer to the Disciplinary Action Proposal.

When filling out a public report, please use the following format:

Your Steam Name:
Your Steam ID:

Staff Member: (@ them)
Time of Incident:

Incident Description:
Additional Information (Videos, Pictures, et cetera):

2. Private Reports
If reports contain highly sensitive information or should not be publicly displayed for other reasons, please send a private conversation to the current administrators, excluding the staff member, notifiying of your intention to report a staff member - do not include any of the report details in the conversation.
Details regarding how we handle private reports will be sent via the conversation. For your information, only a single administrator will be selected to take on the case, in order to minimize exposure to sensitive personal information.
