Where to Report Exploiters in The Forge

The Forge’s developers only accept exploit reports through their official Discord server. This is crucial – reports sent through other platforms, DMs, or Roblox’s built-in reporting system won’t be reviewed by The Forge’s moderation team. The Discord-based reporting system ensures that reports are properly categorized, tracked, and handled by the appropriate team members.

Why Discord-Only Reporting?

The Forge’s developers chose Discord as their exclusive reporting channel for several important reasons:

• Centralized Management: All reports go through one system, preventing lost or duplicate reports
• Evidence Handling: Discord’s system supports video links and screenshots better than other platforms
• Account Verification: The server verification process helps prevent false reports
• Direct Communication: Moderators can follow up with reporters if additional information is needed

Step-by-Step Guide to Filing an Exploit Report

Follow these exact steps to ensure your exploiter report is properly submitted and reviewed:

Step 1: Prepare Your Discord Account

Before you can report exploiters, you need a Discord account. If you don’t have one:

1. Visit discord.com and create a free account
2. Verify your email address
3. Download the Discord desktop app (recommended) or use the web version
4. Set up your profile with a username and avatar

Pro Tip: Use a username that matches or is similar to your Roblox username. This helps moderators verify your identity if needed.

Step 2: Join The Forge Official Discord Server

The Forge has one official Discord server where all exploit reports are handled:

1. Server Link: https://discord.com/invite/theforgers
2. Click the invite link and accept the invitation
3. The server has over 1.4 million members, so don’t be alarmed by the large community
4. Wait for the server to load completely

Important: Only join through the official link provided above. Fake servers exist and won’t have the proper reporting channels.

Step 3: Complete Server Verification

The Forge Discord server requires verification to prevent bots and bad actors:

1. Look for the #verification channel (usually at the top)
2. Follow the instructions in the verification channel
3. This typically involves:
   • Reading the rules
   • Reacting to a message with an emoji
   • Sometimes solving a simple captcha
4. Wait for the verification process to complete (usually instant)

Note: Without completing verification, you won’t be able to see or access the support channels needed for reporting.

Step 4: Locate the Support Channel

Once verified, you need to find the correct channel for reporting:

1. Look at the channel list on the left side of Discord
2. Scroll down until you find the #support channel
3. Click on the support channel to open it
4. Look for a pinned post titled “Welcome to The Forge Support Center”

Troubleshooting: If you can’t find the support channel, try:

• Scrolling up and down the channel list
• Using Discord’s search function (Ctrl+F) and typing “support”
• Checking if you’ve completed verification properly

Step 5: Start the Exploiter Report Process

Inside the support channel, follow these exact steps:

1. Scroll to the bottom of the “Welcome to The Forge Support Center” post
2. Find the “Make a Selection” dropdown menu
3. Click the dropdown to open it
4. Select “Exploiter Report” from the list of options
5. A bot called “The Forge Post” will automatically send you a direct message
6. Check your Discord DMs for a message from The Forge Post
7. Click the green “Start application” button in the DM

Critical: Do not close this DM or navigate away until you’ve completed the entire report process.

Step 6: Complete the Report Form

The bot will guide you through a form to collect information about the exploiter:

1. Username: Enter the exact Roblox username of the exploiter
2. Incident Description: Describe what the exploiter was doing
3. Time and Date: Include when the incident occurred
4. Location: Specify where in The Forge this happened
5. Evidence Link: Provide the link to your video evidence (more on this next)

Best Practices:

• Be as specific as possible in your description
• Include exact times (use your local time zone)
• Mention the specific exploit being used (speed hack, fly hack, etc.)
• Double-check the username spelling

How to Record Proper Evidence for Exploit Reports?

Video evidence is absolutely required for exploiter reports in The Forge. Screenshots alone are not sufficient because they can be manipulated and don’t show the context of the exploit. Here’s how to capture proper evidence:

Using Roblox’s Built-in Recorder

Roblox includes a free, easy-to-use screen recorder:

1. Position Your Camera: Make sure both the exploiter’s username and their actions are clearly visible
2. Start Recording: Press F12 to begin recording
3. Capture the Exploit: Record for at least 15-30 seconds showing the exploit clearly
4. Stop Recording: Press F12 again to stop recording
5. Locate Your Video: Videos are saved in Documents > Videos > Roblox folder

Pro Tips for Recording:

• Get close enough to see the username clearly
• Record multiple instances if possible
• Include the game UI to show it’s The Forge
• Don’t edit the video – keep it raw and unmodified

Alternative Recording Methods

If Roblox’s recorder doesn’t work, you can use:

1. OBS Studio: Free, professional recording software
2. Windows Game Bar: Press Windows Key + Alt + R
3. NVIDIA ShadowPlay: For NVIDIA graphics card users
4. AMD ReLive: For AMD graphics card users

Uploading Your Evidence

Once you have your video, upload it to a hosting service:

Recommended Platforms:

• YouTube: Set to “Unlisted” for privacy
• Catbox: Free, no account required
• Imgur: Supports video uploads
• Medal: Gaming-focused platform

Upload Steps:

1. Create an account on your chosen platform (if required)
2. Upload your video file
3. Set privacy settings appropriately
4. Copy the share link
5. Test the link to ensure it works
6. Include this link in your Discord report

Common Types of Exploits in The Forge

Knowing what to look for helps you identify and report exploiters effectively:

• Fly Hacks: Players floating or flying without abilities
• Teleportation: Instant movement across the map
• No-Clip: Moving through walls or obstacles

Combat Exploits

• Instant Kills: Eliminating enemies or players instantly
• Unlimited Stamina: Never running out of energy
• Auto-Aim: Perfect accuracy without aiming

What Happens After You Submit a Report?

Understanding the process helps set realistic expectations:

Review Process

3. Account Investigation: The reported player’s account is examined
4. Decision Making: Moderators determine if a violation occurred
5. Action Taken: Appropriate penalties are applied

Timeline Expectations

There is no guaranteed timeline for when exploiters get banned. Several factors affect processing time:

• Report Volume: The Forge processes hundreds of reports daily
• Evidence Quality: Clear evidence speeds up review
• Severity: Major exploits may be prioritized
• Staff Availability: Review times vary based on moderator schedules

Typical Timeframes:

• Minor Exploits: 24-72 hours
• Major Exploits: 12-48 hours
• Complex Cases: Up to one week

Possible Outcomes

Action	Description	Duration
Warning	First offense, minor violation	Account notice
Temporary Ban	Repeated or moderate violations	1-7 days
Permanent Ban	Severe or repeated violations	Forever
No Action	Insufficient evidence or false report	None

Pro Tips for Effective Exploit Reporting

Before Reporting

1. Verify It’s Actually an Exploit

2. Pattern Recognition: Show consistent exploitative behavior
3. Community Impact: Note how it affects other players
4. Timeline Evidence: Show the duration of exploitation

Working with Other Players

Coordinate with other legitimate players:

1. Shared Evidence: Combine multiple recordings
2. Witness Statements: Include other player observations
3. Corroborating Reports: Encourage others to report separately
4. Community Documentation: Maintain records of incidents

Understanding Moderation Priorities

The Forge team prioritizes certain types of exploits:

FAQ

How do I know if someone is actually exploiting or just skilled?

Look for impossible actions that break game mechanics. Skilled players follow the game’s rules and limitations, while exploiters bypass them entirely. If something looks physically impossible within the game’s engine, it’s likely an exploit.

What if I can’t record video evidence?

Video evidence is required for reports to be processed. If you can’t record, try asking other players in the area to capture the exploit. Some players are willing to help document cheating behavior.

Can I report someone who is being toxic but not exploiting?

Toxic behavior should be reported through Roblox’s built-in reporting system. The Forge Discord exploit reporting is specifically for game exploits and hacks.

How long does it take for exploiters to get banned?

Processing times vary from 24 hours to several days depending on report volume and evidence quality. Major exploits with clear evidence are typically processed faster.

What if I see the same exploiter again after reporting?

This could mean they’re using alternate accounts or the investigation is still ongoing. Submit a new report with fresh evidence if you encounter them again.

Can I report exploits I discover in the game itself?

Yes! The Forge developers appreciate bug reports and vulnerability discoveries. Use the same Discord support system but select “Bug Report” instead of “Exploiter Report.”

What happens to false reporters?

False reporting is taken seriously and can result in warnings or loss of reporting privileges. Only report players you have clear evidence of exploiting.

Can I report exploiters anonymously?

While your Discord username is attached to the report, moderators respect reporter privacy. Your identity won’t be shared with the reported player.

What if the exploiter is my friend?

Report them anyway. True friends don’t ruin the game experience for others. They’ll likely receive a warning first for minor offenses.

Final Thoughts: Keeping The Forge Fair

Reporting exploiters isn’t just about punishing cheaters—it’s about preserving the integrity of The Forge for all players. Every legitimate report helps maintain a fair, enjoyable gaming environment where skill and dedication matter more than hacks and exploits.

Remember these key points:

• Always use video evidence – it’s non-negotiable for successful reports
• Follow the exact Discord process – reports elsewhere won’t be reviewed
• Be patient with the review process – moderators work hard to investigate thoroughly
• Stay professional and factual – emotional reports are less effective
• Continue enjoying the game – don’t let exploiters ruin your experience

The Forge’s developers are actively working to combat exploits, but they need the community’s help to identify and remove cheaters. By following this guide and reporting exploiters properly, you’re contributing to a better gaming experience for millions of players.
