    I just want to remind you all of the importance of collecting evidence.

    • You must provide screenshots of the payment going through
    • You must provide screenshots of the other player agreeing to the terms you lay out;
      • Alternatively, provide the link to a contract approved by a member of staff
    • You must time stamp your screenshots
    • Try to be specific in your time frames.
      • For example it is a lot better to say "10pm EST on the <insert date here>" than "in 2 weeks time"
    • Always do /rn <nickname> on the player, if they have a ** in front of their name. Otherwise the staff have no proof that this is the player you claim it to be, even if the user uses this nickname all the time.
    • Always be specific in the amount you expect back
      • For example, is it 100k payback or is it 110k payback? If you don't know, then staff don't either!
    Anyway, I hope this helps, please collect proper evidence to avoid getting scammed without the user being punished.

    ~Taylor

    Is it necessary to have time stamps for complaints regarding things such as swearing or hackusating? I've seen some mods ask for this and others who haven't. From my knowledge you don't need time stamps, but can you confirm this Taylor?

    As far as I know, time stamps are only necessary for scamming complaints, however it's always good to time stamp so we know if the user was warned before/after

    Tell them to unvanish before you do the transaction.

    What if it's a complaint about inappropriate behaviour? (This is a thread about collecting proper evidence, after all. It can't be just about scamming)

    Ask a Staff member if the user is vanished. I'm sure many would be happy to help.

    Unless you are asking a question, to do with the thread, or you are commenting with something to do with the thread do not post here.

    I do not want to see any more Donald Trump refrences/memes or any more discussion about political things. This is not the place. Any discission that is off topic from now on will recieve a forum warning.

    This thread is meant to help people, not to gain ratings for people for the most sarcastic or the funniest post that can think of. So, get off my thread and go create your own. This is to help the wider community not for certain people to post takimg it off topic.

    I hope I have made myself clear.
