Reporting Multiple Times

[Sven Niscadae]

I'm sure it's intentional to only allow one report on a user within a certain [unknown] timeframe to prevent over reporting (and abuse of the system).

Once that player had been reported, D will look through the chat logs and find the inappropriate behavior from the time you reported it and probably will find the chat that progressively got worse along with it. I would think your one report at the start is enough as it is notifying D that there is a problem with a user. That first notification is enough for them to look through the logs and see what they can dig up. It's not like they're just going to read up to the minute that you reported it. If anything they'll probably give the same punishment (72 hours) no matter when you reported throughout the ordeal.

I agree. I do believe one report will suffice. They can probably pull the entire chat from the time that user logged in and out that day. I'm not 100% sure how they have this setup on their back end. But we do know specific words trigger flags and after reporting someone they will research and take action.

I'm just surprised that you could continue to see ther remarks and chat after you reported them. The (very) few times I have reported someone, it has put them on 'ignore' and I have never seen any of their chat after that. It was the one thing that prevented me from using the report feature. Once they were on ignore, I couldn't see what they were continuing to rant about. It's somtimes more fun to just ignore them outright, and watch them get madder and madder!
