For years we've seen people get fucking clapped ICly and then resort to OOC methods to get even. OOC methods including "/pm 1 see you on the forums fuckhead :DDD" or "/b [Insert discriminatory remarks here]". That itself is breaking the 6.6 rule (Players must not threaten other players or use offensive language in OOC chat or OOC context). What goes beyond threatening people with reports in the OOC chat, is actually carrying out the threat and making False reports. It wastes the staff's time and it causes discomfort and stress on the individual who's being reported.
It is understandable why the staff team hasn't decided to make false reports punishable, as it creates a grey area between what is a deliberate false report, purely made out of anger and rage to harass the victim, and what is simply just a report that got rejected because there wasn't enough evidence or the report wasn't deliberately made as a way to harass the other person. Please note that neither me or anyone else who's brought up this issue thinks people should get punished because their report got denied, that's absurd. People should get punished for using OOC means to waste staff's time and harass other players instead.
My personal suggestion is having something along the lines of the Defamation Act 2013 (Oversimplified version of defamation is "The communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual."). People being innocent until proven otherwise. That means most reports that get denied won't have any affects on the person who made the report, but people who go out of their way to be an ass are going to be punished.
The example below is a clear case of someone using OOC means to harass someone, because they got clapped ICly.
Crosshair removal, Gun Licensee removal, map removal, stricter DM rules, adding food and thirst bar, they've all been grey areas and people in the staff team managed to get them to work. It's truly applaudable and I'm certain if the staff team disagrees with my method of identifying and punishing false reports, they can use their own creativity to quickly come up with a solution, as they have in the past.
