The "Unsporting Conduct" is actually because of dealing 0 damage with Planes. If you want to spot, that is fine, but please deal at least some amount of damage to an enemy ship with your planes during the match.
I sad to hear that :\
If someone is being obnoxious to you in chat, please make a Customer Support Ticket and send the Replay. If they're treating you badly, they're treating others badly too :\
You might be having a problem with the Flak Walling that happens when Flak gets to high levels. You can attenuate that to a degree by turning during your attack run.
This video can help you understand how to avoid Flak.
Chat Restrictions from Customer Support disable chat entirely, not just during battles. Also, Chat Restrictions from CS are recorded and will be escalated on. Repeated problems can result in permanent loss of chat.
Reports will only lower Karma. They do not incur "Unsporting Conduct" penalties.
The "Unsporting Conduct" penalty will:
Turn you Pink for a # of Games
Potentially Force you to play Co-Op Games to "serve out a penalty"
Remove your Credit/XP Rewards
The thing being referred to is not Karma-based at all. The 0 Damage CV resulting in being Pink and not getting Rewards is due to dealing 0 Damage to any enemy ship with planes.
Just poked around to see if that was something tracked in a Tableau, but it is not.
In general, it would be awkward to sort "Reports that were intended as Reports" and "Reports that were disapproval of ship type". Other than general volume, there wouldn't be a way to label one verses the other.
I agree that reporting people just for playing a ship in the game is a problem. It's not very kind.
