Review policy

What our admin team accepts as evidence, what we reject, and how risk levels are assigned. Public for transparency — and to set clear expectations for both reporters and reported users.

1. What we accept as evidence

  • Recorded video clips with verifiable origin (server, channel, timestamp).
  • Screenshots that include enough context to be checked (channel, timestamp, user ID).
  • Server logs from established communities, with admin contact for verification.
  • Cross-references from already-confirmed risk entries.
  • Direct admission of rule-breaking (with verifiable source).

2. What we reject

  • Reports without any context, link or source.
  • Personal attacks, slurs or speculation about a person's identity.
  • "They have to be cheating, look at this clip" — without observable evidence of cheating.
  • Retaliatory reports filed against staff or players from rival servers.
  • Mass reports or batch submissions without per-ID context.
  • Reports based on private DMs presented without consent of all parties.
  • Doxxing, exposure of real names, addresses, IPs or private contact info.

3. How we assign risk levels

  • clean No reviewed risk entry exists for this Discord ID.
  • low A weak or single-source signal. Often based on one community report awaiting more context.
  • medium A reviewed signal with at least one credible source. Manual review recommended before restrictive action.
  • high A strong, multi-source reviewed signal. We have direct evidence or multiple independent confirmations.
  • confirmed High-confidence reviewed entry. We are confident in the evidence; we still recommend you follow your own policy and appeal process.

4. Appeals

Anyone affected by a risk entry can submit an appeal. Every appeal is reviewed by an admin. We may correct, downgrade, or remove an entry — or, if the review confirms it, leave it unchanged. Repeated bad-faith appeals can be deprioritised.

5. Account behaviour

The CheatSentry account that submits a report is held accountable for its quality. Repeated bad-faith reports, harassment-driven reports or impersonation may lead to account restrictions or suspension.

6. Service limits

CheatSentry is intentionally a risk signal, not a verdict. Server owners are expected to apply their own rules, weigh context, and make their own moderation decisions. We strongly discourage automated punishment based on a single API response.

This policy evolves. We update it as we learn from real review work. Major changes will be reflected in the changelog of our admin-facing documentation.
