It's also not just noobs that do it. I have encountered several of Discovery's public personalities that have bottled and often quite long engagement notices that they fire off within milliseconds of firing the killing shot (which in many cases is milliseconds behind the shield-killing shot) if not later.
I do not report rule violations since I feel that disciplinary action is often too severe and always too public, but people that behave this way tend to be those that follow the rules to the letter rather than the spirit. The way I see it, these people -- not those that are oblivious of or apathetic to the rules -- produce the brunt of harmful behaviour on the server. This is an example of one of the reasons I feel stricter rules will do little to improve the server and may very well harm it.
