Rules Violations Reports

[Derkylos]

If I may make a suggestion...

Having witnessed and collected evidence of a rules violation, I would recommend recording the conversation between yourself and the accused after the event. In this way, you not only have evidence of the fact that they (cruised to re-engage/gave no engagement notice/had the incorrect loadout/add at will), but also of the fact that they have either 1) not admitted their mistake and continued blindly on (thus harming yours and possibly others' gameplay) or 2) admitted their mistake and attempted to make amends (in which case, action should generally not be taken...however, in certain cases (eg: loadouts), the evidence may be useful if retained and the offender re-encountered (and still be sporting an OoRP loadout, for example)).

TBH, I think that all sanction reports should be required to include a record of your post-encounter conversation and your failed attempt to convince the accused of their misdemeanour...but I guess that could be hard to acquire in certain cases.
