Are you tired of cheaters ruining your The Forge experience? As one of Roblox’s most popular games in 2025, The Forge attracts millions of players, but unfortunately, some resort to cheats and exploits. I’ve been there too – watching someone fly across the map or generate infinite resources while you’re grinding legitimately. It’s frustrating, but you’re not powerless.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to report cheaters in The Forge Roblox effectively. You’ll learn the official reporting process, how to gather proper evidence, and what happens after you submit your report. By the end, you’ll be equipped to help maintain a fair gaming environment for everyone.

The Forge Cheater Reporting Process

Method	Platform	Evidence Required	Response Time
Official Discord	The Forge Server	Video evidence only	1-7 days
In-Game Report	Roblox Menu	Screenshots/Description	Variable
Support Ticket	Roblox Support	Detailed description	3-14 days

Why Reporting Cheaters in The Forge Matters?

Before we dive into the “how,” let me explain why taking action against cheaters is crucial for The Forge community. When I first started playing The Forge, I encountered players using speed hacks and aimbots that completely destroyed the competitive balance. At first, I thought “what’s the point?” but then I realized something important:

Every valid report contributes to a healthier game ecosystem. Cheaters and exploiters undermine the competitive integrity and fun of The Forge. They can:

Ruin PvP matches with unfair advantages
Flood the economy with illegally obtained resources
Discourage legitimate players from continuing
Damage the overall community experience

The Forge’s moderation team relies heavily on player reports to identify and sanction offenders. Without community vigilance, cheaters would run rampant, turning this amazing RPG into a frustrating experience.

Prerequisites for Reporting Cheaters

Before you can effectively report a cheater in The Forge, you’ll need a few things set up. Don’t worry – I’ll guide you through each requirement:

Essential Requirements:

Active Roblox account: You need to be logged into your Roblox account
Active Discord account: The official reporting happens through Discord
Membership in The Forge Discord server: This is mandatory for official reports
Screen recording capability: Video evidence is non-negotiable

Recommended Tools:

Screen recording software: Roblox has built-in recording (F12)
Video hosting account: YouTube, Catbox, Imgur, or Medal.tv
Time and patience: The review process takes time

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Report Cheaters in The Forge?

Step 1: Join and Verify on The Forge Discord Server

The official Discord server is your gateway to reporting cheaters effectively. Here’s how to get set up:

Get the Discord invite: You can find the official invite link on The Forge’s Roblox game page or through community resources
Join the server: Click the invite link and accept the server rules
Complete verification: Most servers require verification to prevent spam. This usually involves:
- Reacting to a welcome message
- Agreeing to server rules
- Possibly solving a simple captcha

Pro Tip: Make sure to read the server rules carefully. Some servers have specific channels for different types of reports, and using the wrong channel might delay your report.

Step 2: Navigate to the Support Channel

Once you’re verified and have full access to the server, you need to find the support section:

Look for support channels: These are typically named:
- #support
- #support-center
- #help
- #tickets
Find the pinned post: In the support channel, look for a pinned message titled “Welcome to The Forge Support Center” or similar
Locate the report menu: The pinned post will contain a dropdown menu or button system for different types of reports

Step 3: Initiate the Exploiter Report Ticket

This is where the actual reporting process begins:

Find the report menu: Look for a “Make a Selection” dropdown or button
Choose the correct category: Select “Exploiter Report” or “Cheater Report”
Wait for the bot: A bot named “The Forge Post” will send you a Direct Message (DM)

Important: Don’t leave the server or close Discord until you complete this process, as you’ll need to respond to the DM.

Step 4: Complete the Report Application via DM

The bot will guide you through the reporting form. Here’s what you’ll typically need to provide:

Your Roblox username: So they can verify you’re a legitimate player
The cheater’s username: Double-check spelling – incorrect names won’t help
Description of the cheating: Be specific about what you observed
Video evidence link: This is the most critical component
Additional context: Time, server, location, etc.

The Most Critical Element: Providing Video Evidence

I cannot stress this enough: moderators cannot issue bans without clear, undeniable proof. This is where most reports fail, so pay close attention to these requirements.

Why Video Evidence is Mandatory?

Screenshots might seem sufficient, but they’re easily manipulated and don’t show the dynamic nature of most cheats. Video evidence provides:

Context: Shows the cheating behavior in action
Verification: Proves the username matches the behavior
Clarity: Demonstrates exactly what rule was broken

What Your Video MUST Show?

For your report to be effective, your video evidence needs to include:

The cheater’s Roblox username: Clearly visible in the corner or through the menu
The specific cheating behavior: Whether it’s speed hacking, flying, aimbotting, or resource exploitation
Context that proves it’s cheating: Show normal gameplay for comparison if possible

How to Record Evidence in Roblox?

Roblox makes recording easy with a built-in feature:

Start recording: Press F12 during gameplay to begin recording
Capture the cheating: Record long enough to clearly show the exploitative behavior
Stop recording: Press F12 again to stop
Locate your video: Files are saved in your computer’s Videos > Roblox folder

Pro Tip: Record for at least 30-60 seconds to provide sufficient evidence. Short clips might be dismissed as inconclusive.

How to Upload and Share Your Video Evidence

You can’t upload video files directly to Discord, so you’ll need to use a third-party platform:

Recommended Platforms:

YouTube (set as “Unlisted” for privacy)
Catbox (simple, no account required)
Imgur (supports video uploads)
Medal.tv (gaming-focused, easy to use)

Upload Process:

Create an account on your chosen platform (if required)
Upload your video file from the Roblox folder
Copy the shareable link once upload is complete
Paste the link in your Discord report form

Important: Make sure your video is set to public or unlisted – private videos won’t be accessible to moderators.

Alternative Reporting Methods

While the Discord method is the most effective for The Forge specifically, there are other ways to report cheaters:

In-Game Roblox Reporting System

Roblox has a built-in reporting system that works for any game:

Open the menu: Click the Roblox logo in the top-left corner
Find the report option: Look for the flag icon or “Report” tab
Select “Person”: Choose to report a specific player
Choose the player: Select the cheater from the dropdown menu
Select the reason: Choose “Cheating” or “Exploiting”
Add details: Describe what you observed
Submit: Send the report to Roblox moderators

Limitation: This method is less effective for game-specific issues like The Forge exploits, as Roblox moderators may not understand the game’s specific mechanics.

Roblox Support Tickets

For serious or repeated issues, you can contact Roblox support directly:

Visit the Roblox Help Center: Go to help.roblox.com
Submit a request: Find the support form
Provide detailed information: Include usernames, descriptions, and evidence links
Wait for response: Support typically responds within 3-14 days

What Happens After You Submit Your Report?

Understanding the post-report process can help manage your expectations:

The Review Process

Manual Review: Every report is reviewed by a human moderator – no automated systems here
Evidence Evaluation: Moderators watch your video and investigate the accused player
Decision Making: Based on the evidence, they determine if action is warranted
Action Taken: If guilty, the player receives appropriate consequences

Timeline Expectations

Best case: 1-2 days for clear, undeniable evidence
Average case: 3-7 days depending on report volume
Complex cases: Up to 2 weeks for detailed investigations

Important: There’s no guaranteed timeframe. The Forge’s popularity means moderators handle hundreds of reports daily.

Possible Outcomes

Permanent ban: For severe or repeated offenses
Temporary ban: For first-time or less severe violations
Warning: For minor infractions
No action: If evidence is insufficient or inconclusive

You’ll Receive Notification

The Discord bot will DM you with the outcome, though specific details about penalties are usually kept private for security reasons.

Common Types of Cheats in The Forge

Knowing what to look for will help you identify and report cheaters effectively:

Movement Exploits

Speed hacking: Players moving impossibly fast
Flying/gliding: Moving through the air without proper equipment
No-clip: Walking through walls or obstacles
Teleportation: Instantly moving across the map

Resource Exploits

Infinite resources: Generating unlimited ores or materials
Duplication glitches: Copying items or resources
Auto-mining: Automatically collecting resources without player input

Combat Cheats

Aimbot: Perfect accuracy in combat
Damage hacks: Dealing excessive damage
God mode: Invincibility to damage
Auto-abilities: Automatically using special abilities

FAQ

Q: Can I report someone through the normal Roblox report menu?

A: While you can use the in-game Roblox report feature, for targeted and effective action specifically in The Forge, the official Discord method described above is the recommended and most direct channel. Discord reports go to The Forge moderators who understand the game’s specific mechanics.

Q: What if I don’t have video, only screenshots?

A: Reports without video evidence are highly unlikely to result in action. Moderators require video to confirm the dynamic nature of most exploits. Screenshots can be manipulated and don’t show behavior over time.

Q: How long does it take for a cheater to get banned?

A: There is no set time. It depends on the report queue volume and the complexity of the case. Simple cases with clear evidence might be resolved in 1-2 days, while complex investigations could take a week or more.

Q: Will I be notified if the cheater I reported is banned?

A: You will receive a DM from the support bot about the outcome of your report, but it may not detail the specific penalty. Moderators typically keep punishment details private for security reasons.

Q: Can I report someone for being toxic or abusive in chat?

A: Yes. The Discord support system has different categories. For chat abuse, you would select the appropriate category (like “Harassment”) and provide evidence, which in this case could be screenshots of the chat.

Q: What if I see the same cheater again after reporting them?

A: This could mean several things: the report is still under review, the evidence was insufficient, or the player received a temporary ban and has returned. You can report them again with new evidence.

Q: Can I report multiple cheaters at once?

A: Most systems require separate reports for each player. This ensures each case gets proper individual attention and evidence review.

Pro Tips for Effective Reporting

Based on my experience reporting cheaters in The Forge, here are some insider tips:

Before Recording

Ensure your recording software is working: Test it before you encounter a cheater
Check your storage space: Video files can be large
Position your camera: Make sure usernames are visible in your recording

During Recording

Record for at least 30 seconds: Short clips may be dismissed
Capture multiple instances: If possible, show the cheating behavior several times
Include context: Show normal gameplay for comparison

When Submitting

Be specific in descriptions: Instead of “they were cheating,” say “they were moving 10x normal speed”
Include timestamps: Note when in the video the cheating occurs
Stay professional: Emotional language won’t help your case

After Submitting

Keep evidence: Don’t delete your video until the case is resolved
Be patient: Moderators are handling many reports
Follow up appropriately: If you don’t hear back after a week, you can politely inquire

What NOT to Do When Reporting Cheaters?

Avoid these common mistakes that can get your report dismissed or even get you in trouble:

Don’t:

Confront the cheater: This often leads to arguments and doesn’t help
Use cheats yourself: Two wrongs don’t make a right
Submit false reports: This wastes moderators’ time and can get you banned
Harass suspected cheaters: Let the moderators handle it
Share personal information: Never share your or others’ personal details
Spam reports: Submit one thorough report rather than multiple incomplete ones
