Not many people are aware of the fact that you can warn players in your reports so they get banned/muted straight away. This rule applies to all of the following infractions:
This message is confusing, it's telling you the users require to be warned before they can be punished. Most people would most probably think that means the first punishment is mandatorily the Official Warning. In no way does it let you know you can warn people yourself, and if they continue the infraction then the player will be accordingly banned/muted. So the message could be modified a tiny bit (Or anything along those lines should be fine. Maybe my redaction skills aren't the best):
Warning! This offence may require the user to have been warned before they can be punished. You can warn them yourself in-game and show evidence of it in the report. If they continued to commit the infraction, they will be accordingly punished.
Now in the Official Rules, the infractions that end up with a ban have the following punishment track:
Warning → 1 day ban → 7 day ban → 30 day ban → Permanent ban
And the infractions that end up with a mute:
Warning → 1 day mute → 3 day mute → 7 day mute → 30 day mute → Permanent mute
Not to mention that according to the Official Rules, if you take it very literally, warning a player in a report doesn't skip the warning punishment. Since it's not specified, and normal players don't really have the authority to deliver official punishments. My suggestion is to simply add a disclaimer or similar:
Warning (If the player is warned within a report, this step is skipped) → 1 day ban → 7 day ban → 30 day ban → Permanent ban
Warning (If the player is warned within a report, this step is skipped) → 1 day mute → 3 day mute → 7 day mute → 30 day mute → Permanent mute
Please don't judge my suggestion based on the specific messages I wrote down and the format that I proposed. Since that can be changed/adjusted to be more fitting. The main point of this suggestion is letting players know they can warn and be warned by other players.
