Is it our duty to report people? Should it?

[Croft]

My policy is, if I see someone doing something wrong I just tell them what they are doing is against the rules but I do so politely e.g. "Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you but (insert whatever rule they are breaking) is against the server rules, you might want to (insert correct way of doing)." If they feel the need to sanction me then I'd hope the admins would see that my intentions were good and not punish me for it.

On the otherhand if folks are being arrogant, stubborn or just a pain in the backside then a report is needed. That in itself is a pain because you need to gather evidence, screenshots or chat logs and I'll admit more often than not I don't want the hassle.
It's a catch 22 situation, if we don't report then it continues but if we do it drains the enjoyment of the game.

I suppose of a form of whitelisting would deter some of the rule breakers, it'd be a slight inconvience but as long as you could link several ID's to a forum account I imagine it wouldn't be so bad.
