It's pretty clear that the GMs *do* take action on at least the most egregious offenders, which I'm grateful for.

Short advice for the OP - just don't be a jerk. It literally gets you nothing in life and people won't like you. You're kidding yourself if you think folks don't remember the players who are generally unpleasant and will make sure not to group with\help them. You really only hurt yourself if you are deliberately trolling others to the point that they are reporting you to the GMs. Trolling people for the 'lulz' is at best immature and people won't like\help you, at worst ban-worthy and you won't get to play at all anymore. Just don't be that guy.
