Just to clarify, there are situations in which one may receive a lot of reports from different individuals. So with that in mind, yes, “mass reporting” is a thing. I believe your point being that “mass reporting” itself doesn’t necessarily lead to a penalty.
Outside of a temporary squelch if you are reporting for spam, those reports generally need to be verified before action is taken.
That doesn’t appear to be true, Marvinhagler. From what I can see you were advertising boosts in General Discussion, LookingForGroup and Services. Doing so in the Services channel is fine, but outside of it would be a violation of policy.
