The official response is this:

[{quoted}](name=Riot NaKyle,realm=NA,application-id=ZGEFLEUQ,discussion-id=PzY1ArN3,comment-id=,timestamp=2017-03-28T20:40:08.939+0000)

Spotted a bit of confusion about whether or not we dish out penalties to players who ask for reports. Just to be super clear, we don't. If a player used asking for reports as a leaping off point for actual harassment, that's when we'd blow the whistle. When we think about updates to Instant Feedback, we think about solving problems that really distract you from what matters: Winning the game. And this issue just doesn't chart that high.

If someone says "report x for y" once or twice, they will not be punished. If they spend the whole game using "report x for y" as a reason/means to harass someone for doing "y", then they can be punished.

so lets say (this happened for real yesterday) i have a 55min game and someone asks in all chat to report me at around ~ 15min mark and then asks ppl to report me again about every 10min. is that still a punishement worthy?

On its own, likely not. If they were using it as a jumping point for harassment of you (or if they were using it as a part of them harassing you all game) then it would factor in.

I'm sorry that I can't give you a yes or no - this isn't a black/white issue really - it depends on the entirety of the chat.
