Scroll down and find "Show player's TruckersMP ID". Enable it, if not already. Then press "Apply" and close the TAB menu -> Website Reporting Guidelines Make sure you are familiar with TruckersMP rules and the reporting rules. https://truckersmp.com/rules https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/8 https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/10 -> Important Reporting Rules The Evidence cannot be older than 7 days. Evidence must be available for at least 3 months. Except Reports for §2.1 and §3, they must remain permanently. Videos over 3min must contain a timestamp stated in the report, but they need to be at least 5 seconds long. You are only allowed to use your own recordings. They need to be uploaded to a site with an onboard streaming feature, no download. They must be uncropped, cannot be retouched or blurred. Videos need to be in a decent quality, so admins can easily recognise the names and IDs. Keep in mind you must follow the TruckersMP rules aswell. It's possible that you will also be banned from your own report (for example, if you speed up to prevent an overtake). Fill in the necessary information, and shortly explain what happened in the description. Also place the Evidence Link into the description. Please note: These are only a few of the rules. Check this article to get a full overview: https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/10 Chapter 3 - How to edit your Video The best and easiest way to edit a Video is by using the default Windows "Films & TV" app. Just open the video file and click the small "pen" icon, then crop video. You can now crop it by your liking. -> You can use other Apps aswell, for example CapCut for PC,... Chapter 4 - Choosing a good Site to upload Videos/Evidence Video Evidence -> Best way to go is https://www.youtube.com/, simply upload a video there. It is recommended to set it to "not listed" and to disable comments, but not necessary. -> Another good site is https://streamable.com/, but you need to make sure your videos stay there for at least 3 months. -> Another way is https://vimeo.com/features/online-video-hosting Screenshots -> Best way to go is https://imgur.com/ or https://imgbb.com Chapter 5 - Q&A Q: I've created a report, how long will it take for it to be processed? A: Depending on the load on the web report system, it can take a few days or less. Q: I can only create 10 reports, why? A: This is because the Game Moderation Team is being asked to rate the quality of the reports. This is being used to help get rid of the majority of useless reports that currently come through the system. Q: My Report score went down by 2, now I can only create 8 reports. (Or less) A: (Regularly) submitting reports that are not of high quality may lead to you being able to report less and eventually not at all. If the GMT decides your report is "useless", you will be able to create 2 less reports. Q: Is it possible for my Report Score to go up? A: Yes, in most cases they go up by 1 if the report is of high quality and it's not on popular routes like C-D, Kirkenes,... Once some of your reports have gained positive points from a Moderator, you will have a higher report limit. Q: Is there any other Frequently Asked Questions for me to take a look? A: Absolutley, check it here: https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/10 That's it for now, I hope this helps! Do you enjoy my content?

Sunstrider Posted December 26, 2024 Report Posted December 26, 2024 Quote Videos over 3min must contain a timestamp stated in the report, but they need to be at least 5 seconds long. Actually, it's 2 minutes before you have to specify the video length. As an experienced player, i can give beginner's some tips. These are up to the discretion of the player and are optional, if they want to follow the guide. Free Cam cannot be used to make reports. With the exception of using it to follow the offending player to grab the info. A report must affect your ability to drive. Being stuck in traffic doesn't qualify. Someone up front can report that player. Using screenshots of the offense will be rejected. Check the TMP ID to verify it matches up with the name in your report. 1 wrong number will be declined for wrong id. Follow the road rules. You won't be reported, giving you more time on the server. If you don't know the road rules, try the Driving Academy. Don't rely on the in game reporting system to take action. This is typically inefficient as there aren't always Game Moderators online. Your report will time out. Or, the admin will take no action. Don't edit your POV clip(s). The only edits you should be doing, are zoom in's on your mirrors when an overtaking player is pretty far back. In your document settings (ETS 2 > Config), change your mirror view distance (uset r_mirror_view_distance). This lets you see more of what's behind you in your mirrors. I recommend 1000. I use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to stream my session to Youtube. (Set a scene and then a source to record full screen). By streaming to Youtube, you won't have to worry about VOD's being deleted over time. Unless you're using Twitch (standard channels have 7 days to save the vod before it's deleted). Try to avoid copyrighted music. The companies can block the song in your video from being viewed in most countries. Recording Software & Streaming Sites have tutorials to get you setup if you need assistance. 1
