Can we start giving out "warnings" for false reports?

Just saw 2 team mates admitting they just reported the killer for "camping" argued the point with me that it comes under the "unsportsmanlike" category. I tried to tell them they were doing nothing other than wasting the devs time with reports like that and unfortunately I hear this all too often so with that being said I would like to see some kind of warning implemented letting players no not to make such nonsense reports as there are REAL situations out there that need to be addressed and these reports are only getting in the way. Warning should threaten to ban should it be an ongoing thing.

    Devs are reworking the report system. Probably because everyone made false reports like those 2 guys. But no one know how it will work.

    The core problem is the average player who doesn't read forums etc has no clue what is allowed and what isn't.

    Unsportsmanlike is a very broad term and it is reasonable for a person to consider undesirable play styles to be unsportsmanlike.

    This is really all BHVRs fault for having such a vague report system. Isn't body blocking still in the report system?

    If they need to clarify what is reportable in a stream they have failed. Average players aren't going to watch it.

    Here's the thing: The amount of time it takes for us to go out of our way and give someone a warning or ban for false reports is way more than the time it would take for us to just click off the report and ignore it. Reports on their own do nothing unless we investigate and prove them to be true, so if we see a report saying that someone's a camper, we just ignore it and move on. There's no point investigating something that isn't bannable.

    It would be nice to see some updates to the report system, though. Some of the categories are a little vague so it'd be neat to have those be more specific.
