Reporting bad behaviour

osu! has a team of moderators, the Global Moderation Team (GMT), that operates to keep the game and its ecosystem clean and safe. If you notice rule-breaking behaviour or inappropriate content, report it using one of the methods described below. Alternatively, you may contact any of the moderators online directly if your report wasn't properly handled within a reasonable amount of time — do so only as the last resort.

Accidental reports are ignored. Users who deliberately send invalid reports can risk being silenced.

Special cases

For anything else, see the instructions below.

In-game chat

The !report command

Caution: Reporting a user via the !report command in osu!(lazer) or via the website will cause the report to be visible to everyone! Instead, use the report menu or report them via their profile page.

Example of using the !report command

Chat misbehaviour is the most common infringement. To report it, use the !report command, preferably in the channel where the infringement(s) took place. Don't feel stressed: if your message starts with !report and a space, and you sent it from within osu!(stable) or an IRC client, it is only visible to moderators and no one else in the chat. You can also use the report function via the osu!(stable) client's in-game overlay as depicted below if you are still concerned.

The command's syntax has two forms:

!report username
!report username (free-form description follows)

If there are spaces in the username, replace them with underscores:

!report bad_user spamming in #osu

If your report was successful, BanchoBot will send you a private message stating that moderators have been alerted.

Note that the !report command does not work in osu!(lazer). Please report users via the report menu instead.
