WARDOGS: How to Report a Player
Prox chat abuse, spawn griefing, and teamkills happen on 100-player servers with no kick button. Mute immediately and file a report while the name is still on the scoreboard. After the match ends, many cannot get the name again.
Core problem: In WARDOGS, prox chat slurs, spawn griefing, and teamkills happen on 100-player official servers with no kick button. Players want to mute immediately and file a report while the name is still on the scoreboard. After the match ends, many cannot get the name again. Official servers do not have player-admin kicks. Community servers with admins are planned for launch.
Mute vs Report: Do Both
1Exact Steps: Mute and Report from the Scoreboard
- 1Press Tab to open the scoreboard.
Same key players use to check faction scores.
- 2Find the player by name. Note the server if you plan to mention it later.
Example: "NA East 229."
- 3Select that player on the scoreboard.
- 4Use the mute options:
Player mute, text mute, or complete voice mute. Use complete voice mute for prox-chat abuse.
- 5Use Report on the same scoreboard entry.
Community posts say mute and report both live there.
- 6Stay in the match until you finish the report.
Several players said they only learned the name from a clip after the game and then had no in-game report target.
Key Decisions
| Situation | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Slurs in prox chat | Mute complete voice first, then report. Devs confirmed slurs are not allowed and scoreboard report is the intended path. |
| One accidental TK vs farm TK | One hit in a messy zone fight is common. Repeated spawn TKs or destroying friendly vehicles on purpose: report. |
| After the match already ended | In-game report may be gone. Save the clip, exact name, server, and time. Out-of-match report was not confirmed during closed beta. |
| Official vs community server (at launch) | Official: report and mute only. Community: server admins can police their own rules. |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting until after extract or end of match to look up the name. Tab while the name is still visible.
- Only muting and never reporting hate speech or spawn grief. Mute protects you. Report protects the lobby.
- Assuming there is a vote-kick. Beta players explicitly said there is no kick on official servers.
- Posting the name on socials instead of using the in-game report. Devs track in-game reports. Public callouts do not replace them.
- Thinking mute equals ban. Mute only protects you.
