As one of Roblox’s largest games in 2025, The Forge attracts a massive player base. With such popularity comes the unfortunate reality of players using cheats and exploits. To maintain a fair and enjoyable environment for everyone, the game’s developers have established an official reporting system. This guide provides a complete, step-by-step walkthrough on how to properly report cheaters in The Forge, ensuring your report is actionable and helps moderators take appropriate steps.
Why Reporting Cheaters in The Forge Matters
Cheaters and exploiters undermine the competitive integrity and fun of The Forge. They can ruin matches, create unfair advantages, and damage the overall community experience. By taking the time to report players who break the rules, you contribute directly to a healthier game ecosystem. The Forge’s moderation team relies on player reports to identify and sanction offenders, making every valid report a crucial part of game maintenance.
Prerequisites for Reporting
Before you begin the reporting process, ensure you have the following:
An active Roblox account.
An active Discord account.
Membership in the official The Forge Discord server.
Clear video evidence of the cheating incident (screenshots are not sufficient).
Step-by-Step Guide to Reporting an Exploiter
All official reports for The Forge must be submitted through their dedicated Discord support system. Follow these steps carefully.
Step 1: Join and Verify on The Forge Discord Server
First, you need to join the official The Forge Discord server. Once you’re in, complete any necessary verification steps (like reacting to a message or agreeing to rules) to gain access to the full server channels. This is mandatory to use the support system.
Step 2: Navigate to the Support Channel
Locate the #support or #support-center channel within the Discord server. Inside, you will find a pinned post titled “Welcome to The Forge Support Center.” This post contains the menu to start your report.
Step 3: Initiate the Exploit Report Ticket
In the support post, look for the “Make a Selection” menu. Click on it and choose the “Exploiter Report” category. This action triggers a bot named The Forge Post to send you a Direct Message (DM).
Step 4: Complete the Application via DM
Check your Discord DMs for a message from The Forge Post bot. It will provide a “Start application” button. Click it to begin filling out the reporting form. You will be asked to provide details about the incident.
The Most Critical Element: Providing Evidence
Moderators cannot issue bans without clear, undeniable proof. This is the most important part of your report.
Video is Mandatory: Screenshots are not considered adequate evidence for cheating reports. You must submit a video.
What the Video Must Show:
The Roblox username of the suspected cheater.
The specific cheating behavior (e.g., speed hacking, flying, aimbotting, using game-breaking exploits).
Context that clearly shows the actions are illegitimate.
How to Record Evidence in Roblox
Roblox has a built-in recording feature:
During the game, press F12 on your keyboard to start recording.
Press F12 again to stop recording.
The video file will be automatically saved to your computer’s Roblox folder inside the Videos directory.
How to Submit Your Video Evidence
You cannot upload the video file directly to Discord. You must first upload it to a third-party platform and provide the link in your report form. Recommended platforms include:
YouTube (set as Unlisted if you prefer)
Catbox
Imgur
Medal.tv
Copy the link to your uploaded video and paste it into the appropriate field in the Discord report application.
What Happens After You Submit Your Report?
Manual Review: Due to the high volume of players, each report is reviewed manually by a moderator. There is no guaranteed timeframe for this process. Some reports may be handled quickly, while others may take longer depending on the queue.
Investigation: A moderator will watch your provided evidence, investigate the accused player’s account, and make a determination.
Outcome Notification: Once the review is complete, you will receive a notification in your Discord DMs regarding the outcome of your report. The specifics of any action taken against the reported player are typically kept private.
FAQ: Reporting Cheaters in The Forge
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.
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.
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. Please be patient after submitting your report.
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.
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.
