This was less about reporting in BGs and more about mass reporting for other things. Blizzard uses an automated system where if enough reports come in on an individual player, that person will inevitably be banned without an actual Blizzard GM reviewing the ban/reports. There was an instance where a new guild member of ours told us they critiqued and left another guild’s BWL run and that guild whispered him every single day for a week (he showed us screenshots) with things along the lines of “we’re going to get you banned for being a…”. Eventually he was actually banned for 2 weeks. Luckily he had screenshots of the guild’s harassment, submitted a harassment ticket himself and got it appealed. This was just one a few times that I have seen this happened. I think its a little naive to say that this system can’t be abused is such ways.
