There's a new (old) sherriff in town ... so for the benefit of the noobs here is how non reporting works and the process behind it.
Please prior to filing a non report send a reminder to the person to report. It is good etiquette to report immediately, but you must report within 24 hrs of the match.
If after 24 hrs from the match date, and after you have sent them a reminder to report, the player has still not reported, then now (and only now) file a non report against EACH player in the match that failed to report to you. Do not file a non report 10 minutes after the match.
In the non report please include:
1) Match date and approx time
2) Who else was playing
3) Any circumstances about the game that precipitated the non report. i.e. playabc didn't like his start so he quit after 2 turns saying $#%#@ this. I have reminded him but he told me #$#$ off.
4) Optional - a screen shot of your win.
Please do not send an email to an admin complaining about a non reporter. You MUST file a formal non report for each player in the game that failed to report.
If you back up your claim with a screen shot proving your win - all the better but not always required. You still though need to be prepared to support the claim in case the person accused contests the match.
In the event the person who is accused contests the match within 72 hrs you will be requested to provide proof. If after 72 hrs you have not provided proof the non report is disallowed and the issue is dead.
In the event they fail to contest or fail to report in 72 hrs the match will be forced with penalties assigned.
So as soon as you send the file non report the clock starts running. Please do not send another non report for the same event. If you do the original non report is invalidated and the clock starts running again. If you do have a question you are welcome to email the admin responsible for non reports but please I personally when on duty will take no action for 72 hrs after the non report is filed. That does not mean that the non reporter has 72 hrs to report a match. If that tendency is developing a penalty will be assigned.
A note about the non report. Please do not respond to me about the non report being bs ... contact the player. The non report admin duties email is only a conduit for the process. I have no idea what the content is when it is sent. I act only as the passthru. Please email the player direct if you want to argue this but be sure to make the admin aware you contest the match.
