It’s truly appropriate, as stated previously if you reported people falsely Blizzard was supposed to action you for doing so. Changing a system to prevent someone from reporting at all simply as a result of Blizzard not doing what they should have already been doing seems silly. I can literally no longer report any post, even if it was a RL threat. Have to wait 23 hours for it.
If these forums had their rules more regularly enforced and everyone abided by the rules it wouldn’t be a problem, but they don’t. See this thread. Update on Asmongold? - #64 by Pharsalus-thorium-brotherhood and why there’s a lot more reports needed.
(By the way, you see someone who is a frequent ‘customer support volunteer’ there breaking the forum rules.)
