Attack of the Serial Reporters

There is a certain breed of gamer who's sole mission is to ruin the fun of others. Many doing overtly by trolling or ganking or even cheating. We all agree that these people are douchebags. However, there is a special place in hell reserved for the people who do their dirty troll work covertly. I am referring to the people who scan general chat all day looking for something to report.

They get their kicks by finding the most minor language or naming violation and reporting it. Every single one they see. There are people who submit 5-10 petitions a day, all for bullshit harassment. Most of the time, they start it, but they know enough about the policy to not say any vulgar language. They also report name after name. Half of the time, the shit they report isn't even a violation, so it ends up just wasting everyones time.


GM: Hello Player, this is Game Master #####. How are you
