Hello everyone, I am here to perform some serious research, but require a few participants.
Hypothesis: A player can get banned for no reason, due to other users reporting falsified information.
Requirement: 1 test subject, and 9 unique player accounts per game.
Method: Playing a quick game, (either for fun, or quickly to end it ASAP), and then having all 9 unique player accounts report the 1 test subject for being "AFK". After this is done, 9 more unique player accounts will participate in teh second, third, fourth, and fifth game, until there are an adequately acceptable number of reports against the 1 test subject. Then a few days will pass, waiting for an email to see if the 1 test subject is banned.
This will not take very long if each game is rushed to completion (allowing one side to win) and a multitude of reports can be completed in 1-2 hours. If you're interested in proving or disproving this hypothesis, please PM me.
Thank you.

only kids would take so much time to get someone banned.

This "hypothesis" is inherently flawed for a number of reasons.
1. You have no control test.
2. You're unfairly weighting the reports. By having all 9 people report the person 5 games in a row, the individual will most likely receive a ban. This is not realistic in any sense.
3. I have played the game for almost 12 months. I have never received a ban, suspension, or warning. By receiving a suspension in your first week, you obviously did something wrong. Cases do not typically go to the Tribunal and have their decisions made that quickly.
