Idea: Make RMT spammers killable after 100 reports.

[Avoidy]

I like how when someone made a thread about getting a strike on their account but not being told what it was regarding, the vast majority of this community dogpiled the OP and siad surely they must have done something wrong if they'd been reported. But now that we're talking about using reports to pvp rmt bots, suddenly we're all unanimously concerned about the report system being illegitimate and used to grief. I hope this energy carries over when the next "I've been gaol'd for naughty language but they won't tell me what I said" thread gets written (it won't). The contrarianism here is so predictable it's almost boring.

And for the record, OP's idea is bad but only because killing someone doesn't shut them up. If I kill a bot, it can keep spamming. We need a better solution. Like an active moderation team present to purge these things that pop up in the same places over and over again. Don't care what you call this squad. Take some of this game's revenue, right? And instead of spending it on another game that's gonna flop, spend it securing the actual game earning you consistent profits. Crazy shit, yeah.

Because the OP's idea refers to a set number of reports initiating an automatic activation of a system, which is something that can be easily abused and has immediate results. Take for example New World's hilarious drama about entire guilds mass reporting enemy players during PVP to instantly get them temp banned and thus, removed from the fight. The tactic was so overpowered that PVP devolved into report wars for a bit.

Contrast your topic, where it wouldn't matter if 100 sent in reports against a person, the GM would have to agree with the reports and believe there is actual substance for action to be taken, meaning there's a human element involved instead of automation, thus the ability for it to be abused is far intensely lower since the GM intervention requirement shuts down anyone sending in stupid reports. If someone gets sent to the Gaol, it meant one person believed that person did something against the ToS, and a GM agreed. Meaning it was a 2 v 1 on opinions, so its an easy stretch for people to believe the OP did something bad when a GM of all people agreed with the report.

They're not the same scenario and thus, people can have differing opinions on the topics presented.

man ... if this is true it's so sad. And the sadest part would be I don't know if I should feel sad about the system or the players?

Like ... if this is how human like to game, I think playing with braindead AI would be more fun.
