Currently, the function is only usable for reporting RMT spammers, and while it's supposed to automatically mute the offending player if they say certain blocked phrases, they've been circumventing it by breaking up their sentences with random symbols for as long as I've seen them around.

I'm assuming it also places some manner of flag that marks the player as suspicious and that if said player accumulates enough of them then someone is sent in to investigate, as the RMT spammers do eventually get removed.

Having this functionality extended to all forms of illicit activity including hacking and botting would be really helpful, as the latter in particular has become so prevalent that many players simply can't feel bothered to type individual reports for every last offender they encounter, particularly in the case of the gil-farming bots that number in the dozens/hundreds and have names that are often very difficult to type correctly.

A detailed report really isn't necessary to determine whether or not someone is botting, as they tend to remain online/active for unreasonably long periods of time on top exhibiting erratic/repetitive movement patterns and if the same players are constantly being flagged by right-click reports from several different individuals, in all likelyhood they have to be doing something wrong.

I don't know what it is that's preventing so many bots from getting banned, but having this kind of functionality certainly wouldn't hurt the odds of them getting punished as they deserve.
