Cheater report reply templates

Players who report cheaters want to know it wasn't a waste of time. Thank them, explain the review process in general terms, and be upfront that you won't share the outcome.

Replace the text in [brackets] before sending.

Subject: Thanks for your report about [reported player name]

Hi [Player name],

Thanks for reporting this. Cheating ruins matches for everyone, and reports from players are one of the main ways we find it.

Our team will review the match from [date or match ID] and the account you reported. If we find a rule violation, we act on it, which can range from a warning to a permanent ban.

One thing to know up front: to protect everyone's privacy, we don't share the outcome of an investigation with the person who reported it, even when we take action. So if you don't hear from us again about this, that doesn't mean nothing happened.

If you have a recording or screenshots, you can reply with them; they can make a review faster.

Subject: Re: Did you ban [reported player name]?

Hi [Player name],

I understand wanting to know. We did review your report, but we never share the result of an action against another player's account, whether it's a ban, a warning or nothing at all.

It's the same rule we'd apply if someone reported you: your account details stay between you and us.

Please keep reporting anything suspicious. Every report is reviewed, and patterns across many reports are often what confirms a cheater.

Thanks for reporting that. I've passed it to our team, who review every report. We can't share the outcome with you, but action is taken when we confirm cheating. If you have a clip or match ID, send it here and I'll add it.

Tips

  • Ask for a match ID, timestamp or recording; it is much easier to review than a player name.
  • Explain the privacy rule in the first reply so players don't feel ignored later.
  • Point players to the in-game report button so future reports reach the right queue.
  • Thank reporters even when the review finds nothing; false positives come with honest reports.

Avoid

  • Confirming or denying a ban on another player's account.
  • Promising that the reported player will be banned.
  • Describing how cheat detection works.
