Blizzard's new report system - confirmation of action received

So this week, I've reported 2 players and got others to do the same (even though they said if was pointless and nothing would happen to them).

One was an XP farmer, using a bot script to continously join Lucioball while spamming punch & jump without moving, which I got in 3 consecutive games. The other was a clear aimbotter.

I don't know which one got penalized but I received an email notifying me my reports had action taken.

Greetings,

Thank you for helping us keep Overwatch fair and fun by reporting players who you suspect are cheating or exploiting the game to gain an unfair advantage. Your reports help us identify players who violate our fair-play policies and disrupt the game for others, making it less enjoyable to play.

We know that our players often wonder about what happens to the people they report. In this case, your recent report led to an action against that player and their account.

We can't provide specific details about the penalty type and duration, but we hope that seeing your reports have an impact will encourage you to send similar reports in the future. Keep up the good work, and thank you for helping us make our games a better place.

Regards,

So there you go, reports have an effect. Don't let the griefers and cheaters get away with it, get everyone to report them.
