Reporting someone to get them suspended.

'due to the fact that you can basically get suspended for being a great player because someone decides they want to report you for beating them!'

That's not how it works. You can not be suspended for beating someone. The system is not automated.

If you are caught doing them and someone reports you then you can get Suspended or Banned if they find out what you were doing.

The Enforcement system is NOT automated.

You can (in theory) swear as much as you like UNLESS someone is offended by it and reports your message.

As soon as someone takes offense because of what you wrote, and they report that message, that message is sent in with the report as proof and a real life person from the Enforcement Team will look at the report.

If the message attached to the report does not violate the Code of Conduct, nothing will happen to you.

If however, you were baited to answer to a vulgar message, and you fell for the trap and actually responded with a message that violated the code of conduct, and your vulgar message got reported, then the Enforcement person will suspend you.

Whenever someone sends you a vulgar message DO NOT REPLY, instead report the message and block the profile of the person that sent you the message.

This has the following advantages:

1.) You can't get reported for a message you didn't send in the first place. So you won't get suspended.

2.) The other person will ENJOY it when you reply with a vulgar message. If you REALLY want to hurt them, ignore them. There is nothing worse for a troll to not getting a reaction from his taunts. So instead of falling for their trap, just block them and
ignore them. This will make them mad and hurt them more than even the worst message you can think of.

3.) If you report his vulgar messages, THAT PERSON gets suspended. Doesn't it feel good, when someone that harassed you gets suspended? Much better than simply writing them a stupid message, right?

How do you know they don't get suspended?

If you come across someone you think is violatiing the ToU/CoC then report them via your console & they will be investigated.

You are never told the result of that investigation.

Vary rarely you may get a thank you message if someone receives enforcement action due to a report you've filed but you will not be told the specifics.

Doesn't matter what someone is doing online,if you message them in a way that breaks the rules then you risk being suspended.

You will not know whether someone that you report gets suspended or not for privacy reasons this information is not relayed to the person that did the reporting.

Plain and simple if you break the rules (code of conduct) you get suspended it does not matter if you are defending yourself or not.

The best thing to do if someone is being "toxic" is to Block, Mute, and Report them.

People that are being "toxic" are doing this on purpose just to get a reaction out of you so that they can report you because they know that you are probably going to be suspended.

By blocking them muting them and reporting them they will not get a reaction out of you and move on to the next person and when the enforcement team investigates your report and if they have violated the code of conduct in someway then they will get a suspension.

Not every suspension is immediate some do take time to investigate by an enforcement agent.

If you go and read PSs code of conduct it is pretty much word for word the same as MSs the thing with MSs is that they at least allow you to appeal (file a case review)
