	You can log any incident using the crew area of the Profound Decisions website. If you are logging an incident that involves a specific participant then use the View Player/Search Player to find the entry for that participant. Select the Notes tab - and add a new note. Make sure the type of note is set to "Ref Note" - otherwise it will not be identified. In the body text for the note please make sure that you include the following.

	* Type of Intervention (Safety or Rules Violation)
	* Description of situation
	* Description of action taken including any ruling issued to the participation
	* Any other notes appropriate

	If you are logging an intervention that was more general in nature and did not concern the misbehaviour of a specific participant then please log this report as above - but log it against Graeme Jamieson's player record - PID 927.

==What are writeups and why do we do them==
Writeups are notes put against a participant for a number of different reasons, they allow us to keep a record of anything notable about that person and if necessary take actions. While these are commonly used in battles and skirmishes to record rules or safety issues they can also be used in other situations to record an interaction. Typical reasons for writeups are:
*The person came to one of the ref locations to report an issue that was not immediately resolved or where followup may be required e.g. they came to make a complaint (noting you should advise they email PD with complaints but a record that they contacted the ref team can help link up information in some cases)
*The person needed to be corrected about the rules or a safety issue e.g. during a tournament, skirmish or battle
*You need to record something about the person and there is not a more appropriate place to record it

==How to do a writeup==
The overall aim with the writeup is to record as factually as possible exactly what the situation is plus provide enough detail for PD to followup to get more information and to make a decision on what if any actions to take. Key points to consider:
*Make sure you correctly identify the person the writeup is about e.g. if you are writing something down to put on the system later it is recommended you try to get two forms of ID such as a name and PID. If you cannot then make sure you state this in case there is any question on who the person was
*Be clear where you are stating something factual or something you personally observed versus an opinion or something reported to you, both can useful to give context to the situation but be clear which is which
*If you are passing this to someone else to put on the system please also provide your name and PID in case PD need to contact you for more information
*Include any relevant context or mitigating information e.g. the player was new to Anvil or they took being corrected on the rules well
*Put writeups against player record rather than the character record and mark them as a Ref Note, if there are two people involved either put a note against both or against the instigator, if you do not have an ID they put it against Graeme Jamieson (PID - 927)
*Do not record writeups for feedback against groups or nations or for positive feedback, neither are likely to result in any actions taken but report any extreme cases the Head Refs
*Also notify the shift leader or Head Refs that you have entered these on the system, especially if you think there may need to be action taken

==What happens with writeups==
All new writeups are reviewed after each event so that any follow up or actions can be taken whilst it is fresh in everyone's heads. There are several outcomes that can occur and the most common are listed below:
* Further investigation - you may be contacted after the event to provide some more detail
* No action - for note only. While no direct action will be taken this might be taken into consideration for any future issues
* Feedback to the participant - if required PD will contact the person with any feedback
* Sanctions - for more serious issues [https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire-wiki/Sanctions Sanctions] may be applied in line with PD's Conduct policy
