lets say one of those groups of friends starts a debate gets heated but is proven wrong.
then he gets his group of friends to report since its a bunch of people he is more than likely going to get temp banned its their word vs his he's alone in the matter.

This should not exist he calls it the shark effect you are swimming in a pool of sharks and first sign of blood its a feeding frenzy

which makes you kinda right because of course mods are going to choose the pile over the one.
I also do not think the mods actually look over the thread for context. They look at the singular post, and the "offended" user's report. If it breaks their, in my opinion, broad interpretation of the ToS it is a ban. There is no course to appeal this ban either. Number of reports definitely has an effect, but I think a singular user reporting is enough. Considering the context of my last ban, I think this reinforces my theory.
