And seeing as the reports were sent within a timespan of nearly a full year, and how OP even bothered to make a forum post it doesn't seem like they would send blank or reports that would otherwise not even fulfill the requirement of rudeness.

The moderation policy lists rudeness as a valid reason for a report. Examples that are listed include "zzzzzz", "faster!", "hurry up!", "play!".

It isn't against the rules. Or wasn't considered so before, at least.

But the effect is quite minor - it might let you edge over to one of the medals (300 and 500 Elo) but it won't long term have any effect on your play. No, this has been used extensively by a few players to claim 1st ranking in multiple games. Can you provide us with some evidence? I won't. But if y...

No, this has been used extensively by a few players to claim 1st ranking in multiple games. Nonsense. Congratulations on joining the conspiracy theory wing of the forum that believes the rand function is rigged, that AI bots have been secretly developed, that players extensively hack the interface,...
