I was flagged for review, what does that mean and how do I appeal?

A flag means the automated screening or a report marked something in your match for HUMAN review, it is not a verdict, and legitimate unusual plays get flagged and cleared all the time. Cooperate with the review, provide your own recording if you have one, and if a decision does go against you wrongly, the appeal process gets it in front of different eyes.

What a flag actually is

VERGR's anti-cheat screening reviews match footage automatically and marks sequences that resemble known cheat patterns. Opponent reports do the same thing through a different door. Either way, the flag's only power is to summon a human moderator to look, insane flicks and once-in-a-season reads get flagged precisely because they look impossible, and clearing those is the review's job.

While under review

• Any prize tied to the flagged match can be held until the review closes, that is the system working, not a punishment.
• Provide your side: your own recording or perspective of the flagged moments is the strongest clean-play evidence there is.
• Keep playing normally. A flag is not a restriction.

If the decision goes against you

1. Read the decision: it will reference what was found.
2. Appeal it with substance: what happened in the flagged sequence, your recording, your settings, anything reviewable.
3. Appeals are reviewed by someone other than the original decision-maker, and serious competitive-integrity calls escalate to senior moderators before they stick.

If you actually were flagged for using something you should not have been running, the honest version of this article is: do not appeal, learn. The detection catalogue is updated constantly, and repeat offences on new accounts compound.
