Why is Report Farming not a specific option?

A lot of people don't realize you can report jerks for report farming, and unsportsmanlike is pretty vague. I think it should be a specific report option on its own.

What is report farming?

When someone is game asks for the other players to report another one. You know, "Report X for X" and such. You can't do that, and a lot of people don't know you can report THEM for that.

because it doesn't need to be specific.

it is not Riot that makes the rules, but the community, as it is a learning system based off the data (reports) created by the community.

if one day, the community thinks that fishing for reports is no longer offensive and stop reporting for it, then the system will learn not to put as much weight on it , thus dismissing the report as a false report.

Likewise, the system can learn new keywords such as "kys" and "cuck".

That being said, making specific report categories means that Riot dictating what is considered reportable which they don't want to do (other than hate speech & homophobia, which they do want to control).

Oh I see, I just assumed that was part of the "Negative Behavior" report
