If someone's breaking the rules, you can report it through the portal. Your report goes to reviewers in OTIG and CID, who stand outside your chain of command, so you can report a leader as safely as anyone else.
Who can see that you reported
Reviewers in OTIG and CID never see who made a report, and neither does the audit log. Only the group owner can.
Bear in mind that the details you write can give you away. If only you were in the room, say so only if it's needed.
Making a report
- Open Justice, Report misconduct.
- Choose who the report is about.
- Say what happened, in at least 20 characters.
- Add links to any evidence.
- Choose Submit report.
You can make up to five reports an hour.
Writing a good report
Reviewers can only act on what's in front of them, so be specific.
- When: the date and time, in UTC if you can
- Where: the game, server or Discord channel
- Who: anyone else who was there
- What: exactly what was said or done, in order
- Proof: screenshots, recordings or message links
Keep to facts. "They told me to leave the server at 18:00 and called me a slur" is more useful than "they're always rude".
Upload evidence somewhere reviewers can open it, and keep your originals. Don't edit or crop out context.
What happens next
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| New | Waiting for a reviewer |
| Under review | A reviewer has taken it |
| Closed | Finished, with an outcome |
You can follow your reports on the same page, under Your reports. When a report closes, the outcome is shared with you in a notice.
What reviewers can do
A report can lead to several things, depending on what's found:
- No action, if it isn't supported
- Discipline through the person's command
- An investigation by CID
- A court-martial through JAGC
Protections
- Reviewers can't handle a report about themselves.
- Reviewers can't handle a report they made.
- Investigators never see or work on an investigation about themselves.
Using this in good faith
False reports and reports made to get back at someone are misuse, and they can lead to action in their own right. An honest report that turns out to be unproven isn't a false report.
What this isn't for
- Real emergencies: contact your local emergency services.
- Roblox rule breaks: use Roblox's own report tools as well.
- Disagreements about a decision: speak to your chain of command, or appeal if it's a disciplinary action.
For reviewers
- Choose Take this report, so others can see it's yours.
- Look into it, and don't try to work out who reported it.
- Close it with an outcome. The reporter sees what you write, so keep it factual and leave out private details about others.
Common questions
Will the person find out I reported them? The portal doesn't tell them. They may be contacted as part of a review, but your name isn't part of that.
Can I report someone in another division? Yes. Reports aren't limited to your own unit.
I don't have much evidence. Report it anyway and say what you know. Reviewers can look at logs that you can't.
Can I withdraw a report? Tell the reviewer if you've got new information. The report itself stays on file.
