A clarification I'd like to see

I was recently banned from /v/ for reporting a thread where the OP was talking about pirating games on his R4. The mod said it was because I reported it as illegal content when "discussing the R4 isn't illegal." Can the FAQ be changed to clarify what the difference is between "rule violation" and "illegal content" when reporting a post?

Did they really ban you for a SINGLE report that was not deemed to be correct, or were you spamming the report system?

I've submitted reports (which I thought were justified) on several occasions that no mod took any action on, but I've never been b& for it.  I don't frequent /v/, but on any board I do visit, "abusing the report system" is not normally interpreted as "submitting a single false report," as long as it was *reasonable.*  There's a lot of grey area around both rule violations and illegal content, and it's possible for a user to make a good-faith report which the mod disagrees with, and that shouldn't (and doesn't, in my experience) result in a ban.
