Time of Occurence:

Around 11 PST/2 EST​

Reason For Report:

Mishandling of a Report​

Evidence And/Or Witnesses:

On the last round of Innocent Motel, Mr. Diddles (a detective) jumped across a pit and shot two people for seemingly no reason. One right in front of me (which I believe was an inno), and the other person being me (I was also an inno). It was a pretty clear cut case of rdm. I report Mr. Diddles saying "Diddles why this isn't like you" and he responded back "You know me I'll take any chance I can to kill." I was expecting a slay for a very obvious RDM.

However, the map changes and Jabba does not slay Diddles for what was probably the most obvious RDM in my life, instead finding no fault. According to Woet (and thank you by the way Woet), Deathscenes are lost after a map change. Which means my report which should have been investigated was just lost forever with no investigation, and then closed because nothing could be done. EVEN THEN HOWEVER, Diddles response indicated that he killed simply because he wanted to.

I just fail to see how this report was handled properly in any capacity, even if I acknowledge the loss of death scenes after map change.​

 

I can understand why a WvW situation would be automatically invalid, but the fact that I don't even get a say in the situation (You reached out to Diddles for more clarification but did not reach out for more clarification from me) is incredibly frustrating and honestly unbelievable. Also, I died at the very beginning of the round. There was plenty of time to finish the report before the map changed. I'm sure there were other reports that needed to be handled, but it seems very wrong to not handle the reports before a map changes, especially considering the map changing removes all death scenes.

 

Did you ask about the report in game Noccam?

 

As soon as the report was handled, Jabba left the server, so I had to turn to Woet who had just joined the server for any explanation at all.

 

Alright. Seems to me that the biggest problem here is a communications error. Jabba wasn't required to investigate the report further, but he could have by asking you for a video of the incident. Considering he was getting off the server I don't think there is any reason to blame Jabba for this. It likely didn't even occur to him to ask.

This probably could have been settled by a PM. I always encourage people to approach a mod or admin about a slay if they have questions about how it was resolved. I'll mark this as completed, as Jabba could have done more to investigate the report, but it isn't always our responsibility to go looking for further evidence to prove that the person did in fact RDM. We expect that if the player wants something investigated further that they make that known.

Thanks for reporting, I don't see any reason to punish Jabba for this.

EDIT: Let me make it clear, because I guess it wasn't, staff are still under no obligation to investigate reports further if the victim doesn't say anything. I'm just saying that in this case Jabba probably should have at least attempted to reach out to Noccam. Thanks.
