No. False reports are discarded, and the people that made them lose weight in their reports.

If you get a notification for being reported, it means you've been reported a lot in too few games. While false reports shouldn't hurt you, if you get reported that much it probably means you're doing something wrong.

Yeah go ahead and believe ppl that tell you false reports don't matter. You go right ahead bro.

If you got punished for "nothing", then how about post your reform card and prove it?

Every single reform card I've seen to date is full of toxicity, and the player simply refused to believe that people don't like his behavior or that it should be punished.

I wonder what "proving" myself to you would accomplish for me other then, absolutely nothing?

Deep Terror Nami2 votes

Lol. So basically, you have no proof.

Do you not understand the importance of providing evidence for a claim? If someone doesn't believe you, you provide evidence to show them they are wrong. This is common sense, I don't think you're so stupid that I had to explain it to you.

I already told you why to link it right there; if you provided me with a reform card that didn't justify being reported, then I would see one that changes my statement.

Carrying on an argument without addressing the other participants points. Troll away sir you do it acceptably well.

Are you ever going to stop trying to insult me? Act your age, please.

Faith Breaker2 votes

Are you ever going to stop trolling and actually answer my question? By act my age what do you mean? How old do you think I am and how old are you saying I'm acting? Because it sounds like you're insulting me right back using pretty and comfortingly worded phrases. You're calling me childish for insulting while in and of itself you are insulting me back.

Pot I'd like you to meet Keattle. You are both black and both hypocrites.

Again you accuse me of trolling. And now you're calling me black?

I can't fathom a person that speaks English not ever hearing this phrase. The fact that you are attempting to act as if you truly believe I called you black, and the fact that that is somehow an insult (If you were black, and I called you black, that's stating a fact, and any percieved insult would indicate bias on your side not mine) is almost certaintly proof positive that you are trolling.

You are trying to antagonize and incite a manufactured argument where you are a portraying yourself as a victim of fabricated attacks. You have neither answered my question nor done anything to show sincerity. You got called out. Please stop using the boards as a medium to troll and harass others.

Again calling me a troll. I understand the term. You did not call me a pot, you called me black.

Ever going to provide this evidence of yours? It's almost funny watching you avoid admitting you don't have it.

Reports are verified before a punishment is handed down.

Because mistakes happen. Nobody has ever once said that the system is perfect, and nobody expects it to be. Any punishment can be requested for a second review.

Faith Breaker1 votes

Except that people have said the system in place is flawless. Way to speak on behalf of everybody and be completely wrong.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

Ok, quote me one person that said it. I'll be waiting.

Faith Breaker1 votes

As you wait on me to quote I will wait on you to answer my question, which, let me say for the record, you absolutely refuse to answer.

=)

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

I already did...

You provide proof to show me that I am wrong.

You actually have 2 things to provide to me to prove your claims now; your own reform card (assuming you've been punished as I think you have, which is causing you to be so angry at the system) and one quote from a person saying that the system is perfect.

Faith Breaker1 votes

You did not.

I can't believe I have to highlight it for you...

I don't think any reasonable person could expect a system intended to manage millions of people to be totally flawless--but it can be both slightly flawed and also the best possible solution.

Its always possible that enough different unrelated people will falsely report another person in a short enough amount of time to have the seeming of legitimate misbehavior.

That is rather unlikely though as it involves unknowing collusion across multiple random people in multiple games, more likely false reports will come sporadically one at a time which will do nothing to you by themselves.

Additionally people who constantly report others without the system finding any reason for the report will have the weight of their reports reduced, if a person continuously reports people for no reason eventually their reports will be reduced to zero weight and essentially be ignored by the system.

Personally I wouldn't worry about others reporting you as long as you are at least trying to win in your games and not trash talking your team mates. As long as this is the case the chances that enough random people report you in a short enough period of time for the system to take action is rather unlikely.
