I had emailed Zup about something and this was his reply to me:
I get reports and answer daily to a few hundredths emails from Dogfight community... I just don't post on the forum. Again, I can't help the game, neither improve it if I spend half my time just reading and replying in the forum. That's why I just each squadron to self moderate themselves with my minimum intervention.
People fake reporting are getting nice surprises. You just don't find out because I don't go posting on the forum with the list of people that I ban every day. Every "report", as the name says, sends a message directly to me. I see it and if someone is playing around, that person gets banned. Simple as that. I place about 10 bans a day because of it.
As for the forum, it's too big for me to read it all. That's why you can either email me or just hit the "report" button on the forum. I get a message both ways to check what's going on.
and btw, if they change their names I can see who they are. I have a system that tracks every name change, so changing their name is just silly.
