I totally understand that. I wouldn't expect you to reveal anything that would make it vulnerable to exploits, nor would I want you to. It's just that, aside from chat-related bans, the report system has been a useless feature for the past 7 years. The assumption here is that the recent changes you guys made resulted in a system that might finally take a step in the right direction, and I've seen occasional instances of unsportsmanlike bans for, really, the first time ever. But that's asking us to just have faith in a system that has everything to prove. I feel like I would be more inclined to use the report system if I was confident in its ability to function, especially since it's a lot bulkier and more confusing than it used to be, and doesn't consistently notify users of its success.
and doesn't consistently notify users of its success
This is a good point and I personally think implementing feedback for Unsportsmanlike Conduct bans is going to be the best way to bolster faith in the system. Until we can do that, the best I can do at the moment is to continue to ask people to use the system we've put in place.
