Hello, I have a little question, I would like to know if threatening a player to report it to the staff is allowed. Knowing that in this case I'm talking about a player who threatens you just because he's losing while you didn't do anything.
In my case it happened to me yesterday and I admit that it stressed me out a lot because I told myself if a pence player that I cheat can be that the staff too. And for the time being, I also ask the community for you, should this act be sectioned or not?

Hello! I will try to clarify this for you as much as I can, but I am at the end of the day only a community member and this is just my best understanding of the rules that govern this specific field.

If we look at the Official CubeCraft rules (found here), you can see that under the section Chat Usage, Threatening falls into the category of things that should be avoided and are not allowed since it creates an environment which may cause harm or discomfort to other community members. If we now take a look at your specific case, you say you were told by the player that they were going to report you for an offence you didn't commit which is in fact, as you put it yourself already, a threat and by rules punishable.

Secondly, I would also like to touch on another thing now. If you are playing and participating on the server in accordance to the rules, I can assure you, that you have nothing to be afraid about. I'm sure that even I've been reported or at least had /sr report filed against me before, to be perfectly honest with you, I'm sometimes even surprised myself when I manage to win some fights or get myself out of a situation. But you have to know, that both Sentinel and most importantly the Moderators are well trained and very good at detecting illegal modification and differing between legit players and cheaters. If they believe a player is not cheating, they will deny the report and not punish the player in question.

I hope all of this explains the situation a bit better. Threats are not allowed, so if you have any evidence of the player I suggest you submit a report against them, otherwise I wish you a good and safe time playing on the server. If you follow the rules, you don't have to worry about getting banned just because a random player said so.

Also, if you have any more questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

(We look at every case on an individual basis, so I'll give a general answer here, but please do bear in mind that different cases may result in different action being taken. If you suspect someone may be breaking the rules, it's best to just report them even if you aren't certain rather than asking about it first.)

Telling someone that you are going to report them is not punishable. This would lead to a lot of issues, such as players being afraid to falsely report players which is not a good atmosphere to create.
Additionally, it is not really possible for us to distinguish between a player saying this as a threat while knowing you aren't breaking the rules and a player saying this because they genuinely believe you are breaking the rules.

I'm sorry that you were accused by a player of breaking the rules when you weren't, but if you weren't then you have nothing to worry about. We would simply deny the report.

Thank you for all your answers, I suspect it, but I really wanted to know what the rules were about.

What if someone repeatedly says that they're going to report you , tithe point where it becomes either spam/harassment. I'm guessing that would be punishable in certain scenarios.

Well it's been a while! How's everyone doing?
After adding up all my playtime statistics from every current and legacy game, I've concluded that I've played on this server for a total of: 49 days, 21 hours, 59 minutes and 12 seconds. (Unfortunately doesn't include lobby time)
just made an official announcement on my yt that i’ll be stepping down. this will most likely go for here to. ive wanted to start focusing on music and graduating, as its coming up in a few years. i’d like to thank everyone for my time here. i’ll still be semi active for a few months, checking in every so often. thank you all so much for my time here.
