Guys, I think IFS does work for the most toxic cases

So, I recently had the most toxic teammate I've ever seen in a norms game. I reported him after with the comment "Most egregiously toxic teammate I've ever had" or something. Like 5 minutes later, I got a message from IFS saying a penalty was issued. Unless this was just a wacky coincidence, it seems like IFS does instaban people who display completely awful behavior. I don't know if this is a new thing or what, but I had to stop myself from cackling so loud I woke up my dormmates.

I've personally never had an IFS notification, though I've never sat around hoping to see one. It's possible that I've had them without noticing/caring. In my opinion, It's not my business to know whether or not my report led to punishment. I'm happy knowing that it at least gets tacked on to their history of negative behavior.

That's strange, you've never gotten a random one at the very least? I think I've gotten extremely rare instances where IFS mentions it punished someone I reported at any time prior, but it was usually after a game that didn't really have issues.

I admire your attitude towards knowing the fate of people you reported, though. No sarcasm intended if it ends up sounding like it, but I'm nowhere near an upstanding player like you. I'm perhaps a bit vengeful regarding toxicity.

I only report those who I believe truly deserve it. I let a lot of mild attitude slide. If anything, I'd leave lesser offenses up to someone else or the system to catch. A single report is all that's necessary for a single game, multiple reports don't make the offense any greater. If it's bad enough, the system will pick it up even without a report. If I'm on, it's because I have the intent to play a game. I jump into games almost immediately after logging on. If I do not intend to play another, I generally log out shortly after the game ends. Hence why I may miss notifications.

Fair enough.
