When I play on PRTA (rarely) I usually don't have a problem This i'm going to assume is because I don't have a reputation with them, however after this post that might change. All I see are the occasional missed/ignored reports and balancing issues sometimes which, all servers have occasionally. Which was ok up until yesterday with Liams and Mats report. I was on the other team and witnessed the entire thing going down in chat. Now, I know how PRTA operates from when I was in it a year or two ago, and I know its changed a lot from them, especially how admin reports get handled. Which in this case, seems wrong to me. Liam and Mats did what anyone should do. They reported the offense, and it was either discarded or was chosen not to be dealt with.

False reports are always coming in and we like to look into it so that we can make sure we get the right guy warned, this would be why you see a delay.
That quote proves that either this didn't warrant a look or there is some other underlying issue(s) of why you chose not to look at it. Not only that, but after he was banned he attempted to make a report;

If you look with mats video and report. It's obviously a ban case, albiet the video wasn't available when it happened but it is now, yet even with that evidence you still defend the accused. Why?
Prior to that he also reported an admin a few weeks ago, which is now, locked and still unresolved, even though
according to the PRTA staff. This is the problem, all these discussions happen behind doors and after a few days they hope it all goes away without resolving it. Then blatantly lie to cover it up to save them from changing policies or removing staff involved.
This is one of the many reasons WHY I try not to play on PRTA. If you see something or someone do something wrong and the admin doesn't agree or wasn't paying attention. He's obviously right, no matter the case. Then you try to take it to their forums, where either the complicated review system in place is broken or the accuser is completely left in the dark and is defenseless to answer key questions about the situation while it's discussed or it just gets thrown away in hopes the accuser forgets.
According to the license;
"
You are responsible for the proper administration and management of your server(s) in a fair and friendly way. The LICENSOR may, at the LICENSOR'S discretion and without prior notice, revoke this LICENSE if the LICENSOR believes that the server(s) is administered in such a way that it brings Project Reality into disrepute."
How is the PRTA administration and management being proper and fair to its players by locking threads immediately preventing discussions, censoring key witnesses by doing that and even disregarding valid reports because they disagree with PRTA agendas?
Even that, he disagrees with the forum rules, yet this incident happened on the server and that makes his report invalid? He had no choice but to report it on the forums. My main point is, it shouldn't matter if he accepts your forum rules or not, that shouldn't make a complaint invalid.
Lastly, in his previous report, he disagreed with the rules aswell:
Closed - Admin How should i know? reported by Mats391 | PRTA - Project Reality Teamwork Alliance yet that was still supposedly investigated. (Which by the way no one has taken or received any punishments or acknowledgement regarding the report) AFAIK So tell me how does that work?
In case they try to edit or change it on there forums:
This is the kind of stuff people who are not affiliated with PRTA or are not already brainwashed by their agendas need to be aware of. If you are not part of them you are treated like second class citizens and if you have a history with them you are treated worse on their server. The admins will favor themselves and community members over you every time. Then with the complicated bureaucracy that it is made of, it will makes things easy to disappear and get lost. Even if they manage to retain their license after this it won't be for long if they continue down this road.
Since he was denied the investigation, he has no other option but to put it here for the rest of the PR community to observe and reflect how PRTA deals with things.
That's my server feedback don't join the server or the community and go down with a sinking ship. There are far better servers that deserve to be seeded and communities to join.
