There is an argument to be made that players would abuse the system and report people they dont like etc, well, thats where a human GM comes into play and has to do some basic investigating. So yes, the system is likely going to try and be abused.

but is the system not already being abused by cheaters? and we are not talking about silent reports against someone not liked or that they are picking on, we are talking about blatant in your face cheaters that are abusing the system and virtually EVERYONE knows it. I believe that harms the game and the community far more than a bully, or a group of them, making false reports

no one is asking for complete elimination (tho that would be awesome lol) but a real response to a real problem would be a good start. and a vague report on numbers isnt cutting it, because they should be broken down by area, hell, I would love to see BY SERVER before this vague banning report has any meaning to people watching these things daily
