Reporting rule suggestion

Suggestion type:
Forum/FGunZ/Other


Suggestion description:
Rule against excessive/unreasonable reporting:

1)When a person makes an excessive amount of reports without good faith belief that another player has broken the rules to such an extent that they should be punished or reported
2)Reporting someone without fully understanding the rules or knowingly doing so out of spite
3)Reporting just to waste the time of staff members and/or cause drama


Who should this be applied to?

This should be applied to a report that is obviously not in any violation of the rules nor ToS, but the player is reporting solely out of spite, to waste a staff members time, as a joke or to cause drama. The player false reporting should receive a verbal warning notifying them, that such false-reporting is against the rules and in the future they should think twice before reporting for unfounded reasons and false-reporting again after being verbally warned should lead to a harsher punishment.

This rule shouldn't be applied to scrubs who don't know any better, to people genuinely not understanding or gray areas, but rather to people that knowingly cause drama and knowingly report someone without a good faith belief that the other player deserves to be reported in the first place.

I disagree. Just because you ego'd and cannot handle it emotionally doesn't mean u should do this out of rage..

OT; My report are not to waste anyone's time, I'm just trying to get as many people punished because I got abused. All my reports are legit and follow the format/ToS.

kinda already part of the ToS just not described into this much detail:
