Does reporting a question that meets the terms of service ever get people a violation for false reporting?

I rarely report anything, but it seems like more and more I get violations for things that are not.Does reporting a question that meets the terms of service ever get people a violation for false reporting?
Yup, there are certain people here who just report anything, however innocent. These are called Trolls and they may even stalk a certain person. The lowest of the low.Does reporting a question that meets the terms of service ever get people a violation for false reporting?
If a person reports something that gets overturned through an appeal, it counts against their reporting ability. If they do that enough, their report won't be taken seriously.

There was something on the site at one point (in a YA blog, I think), that said if a person reports unnecessarily repeatedly, that the account might be flagged %26amp; watched and possibly terminated. Don't know if that has ever actually happened, though.
if a person reports a violation that isn't, that person is deemed as not a good reporter..





No penalty like Points taken away (but the appealer gets another 10 if appeal denied), suspended account, canceled account.





Just because the question or answer you reported wasn't removed right away does not mean you're not trusted. Trust scores are always in flux, so you're not either “trusted” or “not trusted”--they are not mutually exclusive. Whether or not a question or answer is removed right away when you report it depends on many metrics, including your trust score, the trust score of others who may have reported it, and the trust score of the poster. It also depends on whether the report is being sent to the customer care team or the community moderation system.
