If a pattern shows for the Mods then yes something happens. It’s abuse of the reporting system the same way it is in game.

This is great news and I’m glad this is happening.
I cannot see, but I do know of a discord where they call for people to report certain posters. I was in said discord is how I found out about these actions. While I understand that Blizzard could not action someone based off of discord conversations, my OP was in regards to putting in a ticket for possible harassment and giving names of posters who are constantly reported together, which could possibly help a moderator to see a link for these coordinated reports.
I sincerely thank you for your time and that you answered my question.

This thread is just a continuation of that.

My experience shows that that is not the case.
This isn’t really the place to bring drama here. The OP wanted a question asked and got an answer. Bringing general drama here won’t help anyone or anything here.

Speaking from personal experience, they definitely do punish people for it. I tested this myself once and was suspended from the forums for several months. Moderators investigate hidden posts and can see if the characters that flagged the post are coming from the same accounts. They have access to a lot more information than they will ever let on.

I think I know what this is about, actually. Someone else sent me the screenshots last night.
But no, nothing can be done about Discord.
You are not privy to who reports what posts, just the ones you do. Someone saying on Discord that they are doing it doesn’t mean they actually are.
If what is being reported actually violates the forum Code of Conduct, then it doesn’t matter if it’s the same player or group of players reports all of them.

Thanks, Briselody. As much as I appreciate the intent, let’s not borrow drama we don’t have to. 
Just to note, I do look at folks recent posting history on occasion, to get an idea of where they are coming from. I’ve also been hip deep in a certain thread in general for a bit now cleaning up some of the mess so I am aware of what has been happening this morning.
The accusations about what may or may not take place in a discord isn’t really a factor. We have no jurisdiction there. We’d look at what is happening on our forums, including those posts being reported and yes, we notice who reports them.
I would love nothing more than to take that entire thread apart and counter a lot of the misconceptions, but I’ll stay in my lane.
