I've always wondered if people who blatantly lie in reports about crossfire, GBA, etc. have been punished for doing so, or if it isn't considered against the rules. I imagine with an Admin's discretion in certain situations, it is, but I want some feedback.
Lying in reports isn't considered punishable unless it is done in excess, which then you need admin discretion to do anything with, so you were right
Lying on a report response doesn't warrant for extra punishment under standard protocol as we already have set the boundaries for our ruleset through the MOTD and the Extended Rules. However, that can change if you have an admin 's discretion and if the situation is severe enough. Your speculation is correct.
