I doubt that SE is going to penalize anyone immediately for a first report. Penalties are far more likely to occur if other members go over the top with the questionable speech in order to provoke/harass the new member.

All it takes is saying "sorry, this speech is allowed within this FC. If you find it offensive, you should join a different FC". The player offended could then leave voluntarily or be removed by the FC leader.

It does show that a FC leader and those given permission to invite new members should use caution before doing so.

Regarding fears of players intentionally FC hopping in the attempt to report other players speech in a FC chat, the player doing it is just as likely to get penalized if the GMs notice their behavior pattern.
The individual overrides the collective.
