Report



Reports are marks of negative feedback that players can give to each other. They can be given at any time during a match, to players on either side. Reports are hidden and not recorded in the player's profile.

Players may submit 6 reports per week. If a player is punished due to reports then the players who reported him will be notified and may give out an additional report.

Valve has implemented a "trend pattern" for punishments as opposed to "mass reports" in one game.

Penalty
Players who are reported repeatedly may be subject to a communications ban, or be put in low priority queue. The number, frequency, and type of reports needed to incur a penalty is not known.
