Is it our duty to report people? Should it?

[Zuretz]

Look, nobody is going to judge you if you report someone. It is not about being mad, it is not about having ''self control'' or ''not being bothered''. (...) This is about the fact, that by choosing not to submit a report, you potentially let the offender roam free and ruin the interaction for other people. (...) I really suggest that we abandon the unwritten rule on Disco, that reporting someone is a bad thing. Last resort, sure. But not something to be considered as ''frowned upon''.

I agree with the man, i've been playing this game for not so long, and have been bothered by a number of rules breaking that really pisses anybody off. And at least half of the time someone broke a server rule near me or at me were people with some decent equipment that indicated some time of playing, and if they had read the rules on the forum or were sanctioned before i believe things would have been different.

That goes from silent-traders that shoot on your face without saying a single word (who were flying from 1m ships to 40m vessels), to Lawfulls one line engagers ("engaging", "helping") or to loner Pirates demanding 10 million to a let a BWT pass in order to force a blue message.

The problem is that sometimes those people mess up with some good time of playing you had prior to the encounter, some good brawn you were into in case of a "pvp" (lawfull or pirate) ship or some system flights with cargo in the hold in case of a trader vessel, not to mention that, even if you die by the hands of a rulebraker, you have to respect that two hours break-time, and well, two hours is a lot of time for someone that respect the rules and won't log in another ship to engage anyone again.

If rulebreakers got sanctioned more often it would probably be for the best, so yes, if you got a decent proof, it's best to report.
