What can we do about false reporters?

Some people take to the forums because they believe they haven’t been heard, which I understand. Usually though, they do end up actually having done something wrong.

Im not discussing the actions. I’m discussing how it feels like the report system seems easy to abuse with no repercussions.

I hold no opinions, but it has been confirmed that violations such as Abusive Chat are verified by a Blizzard representative before account actions are issued (source). Furthermore there have been many instances where proven toxic players are often called out by Blizzard representatives:

• Heroes of the Storm Abusive Chat incident

• The Overwatch TOrbrbrbrbBrbrbrBrBrBRBBRBRBRBRbRBRBRbRB incident

• False reporting claim actually a user banned for Abusive Chat

You’ve clearly never been suspended. If you had, you’d know that those “appeals directly to Blizzard” get nothing but a generic, cookie-cutter repsonse

No, I have not, but I am one of the forum MVPs and I work hard to provide detailed responses and help players get to the right resources they need and I also have direct communication with many of Blizzard’s customer service representatives. However, I know have been reported many times falsely, but I have never come close to even a warning.
