Hi,
I recently reported someone under afk abuse, under the pretense that a friend stopped them from getting kicked via afk vote, and told them to return because the flag disappeared after the vote. But they proceeded to do nothing, then down voted a cc vote (which passed 4/5). This ticket was found innocent.

However i had a similar case a few weeks ago, where the guy went afk in the pool, but the time never elapsed for him to be able to be kicked (game ended via throne). He however killed our courier before afking. Since the afk vote never came up, i thought it best to put it under courier grieifing, with the majority of the report still talking about the afking. This report was found guilty.

So i have two questions. Firstly was i robbed of my 25 coins in the first decision. I dont want to PM a GM and make them re investigate it for no reason, since it wasn't some extreme example of grieifing. But this decision seems rather inconsistent with what i have read on your description of afk abuse (where someone afks knowing a friend wont kick them), and a case of what seemed like a more "guilty" case being found innocent.

And secondly, do reports take into account multiple aspects, or is a report for courier griefing looking only at the courier.
Thanks

Wrong mindset, if you don't understand why your ticket got an innocent verdict, PM an SGM anyway so they tell you exactly why it was innocent. Otherwise, there's a chance the GM who did your ticket made a msitake, in which case you get your coins back & RAP infraction removed. You don't have anything to lose other than a few minutes of time.

And they are supposed to watch the whole replay for other modes of griefing as well.

I have sent the OP a PM with an explanation.

Closing.
