An old example.
That's the exact image that I was talking about in my post. I've seen literally nothing beyond it of anybody being reprimanded. Ever.

It still doesn't change that the frequency and prevalence of it would rise sharply, along with abuse of it as a social tool.
What do you describe "abuse" as? Is abuse me telling you that you're doing bad DPS? Is it me removing you because you aren't up to minimum standards for the content? I don't consider either of those as abuse. In fact, the only kind of "abuse" I can think of is somebody being extremely rude and assholeish to somebody else because of their DPS, and I've nearly never seen that happen on ANY game, even ones where nearly everybody uses a parsing tool (such as WoW).
