Has any thought been given to taking away certain players' reporting privileges?

Say you've got a player who just spams reports on everyone else, wasting a lot of Riot's time and resources, and lowering the guy's report impact doesn't cut it. Does Riot have the capability to simply go "You can't report people anymore" and block a player from being able to send reports?

Riot has created an automated system to deal with bulk reports. Riot only reviews players who have received multiple reports over the course of several games in a short amount of time. So, It doesn't matter if someone mass reports. If the player did nothing wrong, nothing will happen to them.

No Riot resources are wasted, they have a program that does it all.. which is why there are so many errors in permabanning and why things like groups of premade people can get someone banned near instantly, but people who solo never can get the premades banned. The penalties are already too strict as it is.

Well that's wrong on multiple counts.

First:

which is why there are so many errors in permabanning

The failure rate of the IFS is minuscule. And that includes more then just unjust permabans, but for any kind of punishment it doles out,

Second:

groups of premade people can get someone banned near instantly, but people who solo never can get the premades banned

That's not how the system works at all. All it does is check if there were reports in the game, and then analyze the chat log for the reported player. Multiple reports in the same game have no more weight than one, and it is specifically set up that way to ensure that premades can't get a solo player punished for nothing. The only way you will get punished is if you are actually toxic.
