Depends on the game imo. Some games the people on the forums don't care. Some they do.

A couple I frequent, if you're coming there without the badge and you post anything outside of some variation of "is this for me" then you're getting dog piled. The forumites figured out a while ago that less than ten percent of reports are actually enacted by a human, the rest are automatic if enough people report you. Even if the content of the report is blank.

You can thank the EU and their horseshit laws for that one by the way.
