Would I get punished if I tell someone to report someone else with a reason?

For example if someone has been toxic to me all game am I allowed to say for example "Toxic graves" at the end so that they know what to report him? Or is it an insult to graves and can get me reported? Thanks :)

It's possible.

Asking for reports doesn't do anything but add negativity to the problem, regardless if there is one.

It only takes 1 report to trigger a review of one's chat anyhow.

There's absolutely no reason to call for reports since they don't stack. One report is all it takes to trigger a review of the match. Additional reports do nothing.

Because of that calling for reports is considered bad behavior and can get punished.

It's virtually impossible to get punished for ONLY doing that, but if you do it in addition to other toxic behavior, or decide that you're going to campaign for somebody to get reported throughout the game, it can contribute towards a punishment against you for that.

It's also pretty pointless. Extra reports don't matter, so if somebody is toxic, simply report them yourself and the job is done.

Well i cant say you WOULD, but you COULD. I take it you havent heard yet that 1 report in a game, has the same effect as 9. So theres literally no reason to ever ask for reports.

Just don't ask for reports, it's pointless. Report them yourself and be done with it.

Just a few notes here!

  1. All reports are weighted the same. There is virtually no difference between 9 reports and 1 report; if the IFS sees a report and is triggered by the chat, it will issue a punishment/review the case. Spam reporting doesn't make them get in trouble faster, it simply triggers an account for a review.
  2. As long as you are not using the phrase 'report x' to harass, intimidate, or bully another user, and you only ask it once, it will not get you punished.

Why can't YOU report?
