I am glad the mods didn't ban the guy but I have to wonder how many players the guy runs off a week and how many of those were potential paying customers.  Do your damn jobs and get rid of garbage like this.

Well, warnings are usually more than enough to put some harasser in his or her place, cause the overwhelming majority of times they are not credible at all, just angry hissy fits in an attempt to exude some power. Though at any point in time anyone can just put that harasser on ignore and the interaction should end as well. Mods really only have to step in if the interaction does not cease or if it gets out of hand, they are supposed to moderate not be the KGB. Banning individuals would make them more angry, they'll just end up making another account and continue to harass others, whereas a warning serves at a chance of redemption.

I do want to make it clear though, that I am not trying to make others refrain from using the report button. It's just that a lot of times, interactions like that happen because of a lot of miscommunication, and one person just says something that they shouldn't have said since they are shielded by a computer. Thus, warnings and ignores are more than enough to get the message across. Serial harassers and trolls are more or less a very small minority.
