Forums Clarification on nickname reporting

[kaivalya]

I want clarification on whose responsibility it is to check for a nick in minigame (Is it reporter's while making the report or staff's once he is ready to punish). This is because there have been multiple instances recently where a staff has punished a nick instead of actual player. In these cases the actual player remains unpunished and a fresh punishment log is created for that nickname who didnt even existed till then. I am not going to name any staff since if a staff is missing it they clearly haven't been informed by management to check for it.

My assumption is that since "how to find if a player is nicked" and "how to find its realname" is not common knowledge, reporter must not be required to inform "realname" or inform "if the player is nicked or not" in the report.

So the doubt being:

Is reporter required to inform if reported player is nicked? No? So is it then staff's responsibility to check for nick before punishing?

If that is the case I hope staff are being informed by management to check that before punishing.
If it is reporter's responsibility, let me know how to check for nick and realname and I will make sure to include it in reports.

Hello Kaivalya,
if u want to find real name of the person u have to use a command in game that is /realname (nickname of the player)
Eg - /realname ~GOAT
So by using this command you find the realname of the player.

In the minigames, it is the staff's job to find the real name, as players may not easily find it, or may not find it at all.

Staffs are supposed to check that, you're not meant to be able to recognize the nick. If they don't check it, well that's a problem and I guess you can make a staff report for it.

Yeah that was my intuition too, although I dont want to make a staff report everytime this happens cause then there will be a lot of reports. Adding to that, reports dont work either.

These are trial and helper staff with only a beginner's knowledge of server, last thing we expect from them is to know this little detail. It is the responsibility of management to make sure lower staffs know about the checks before executing a punishment.

Trials don't handle reports.

Well, although staff report wouldn't probably mean that the staff who forgot to do that would be demoted or punished for it in any way, they would probably make them aware that they must check it. I guess one staff report would be enough. Or you could contact them through Discord or here in Forums and let them know about the mistake. I don't know what the situation in staff team is today, but if it's done incorrectly, they should be aware to start doing it correctly.
