We want to make Among Us a welcoming place to be in - check our Code of Conduct for the kinds of behavior we expect from our players.
Reporting a player that is behaving badly is the best way for us to find and take action on a user. Thank you for helping us and being a part of the community!
How to Report
To report a player that is misbehaving or acting inappropriately, please follow these steps:
- In the lobby or during meetings, open the Chat.
- Click on the Kick icon.
- Select the player you want to report.
- Click on Report.
- Select the reason for the report.
- Click on Confirm.
Once you've reported someone, our moderators will review what has been submitted and take the appropriate action. Below, you can find all the different kinds of "violations", meaning that a moderator has received a report against a player's account, investigated the report, and found the player in violation of the Code of Conduct. Reports do not equal violations, no one is ever banned simply because of the number of reports against their account! A moderator has to review the report and make a judgment about the content in order for a violation to be recorded and a ban to be applied.
