    You’re asking should there (or ARE there) consequences if some person just hits Report on every single BG match they do ?

    **Well, maybe yes, there should be. As in filing a lot of false police reports.

    Or is there a concerted effort out there, by all the cheaters (even though they are cheating) of clogging up the reporting system with a bunch of reports of their own. Although wouldn’t that just result in Kabam looking at their matches (in which they were cheating), and be the opposite effect of them hoping it would overload the system.


    This exact thing actually happened.
    I noticed there was a group of players who were reporting every single BG opponent.

    I was going to ban them with the "Contact Support" reason and get support to tell them to knock it off and unban them, but then I realized the reason they were doing it was to try to clog up the reporting system because they were cheating.

    So they ended up getting banned for real.

    Can you link the reddit comments

    This has never happened. The reporting system flags accounts, and some bans have resulted from reviews of those flags, but there is no system that automatically bans an account after a certain number of reports.

    Related, you're only supposed to have one account on the message boards...








    ...and reviving the exact same issues as your previous banned account did probably isn't wise in the long run.
    bro that's not me, do whatever ip mumbo jumbo you want but don't accuse me of that
