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?

Oh, and here's a picture of the ban page.

That praticular picture summed up my feelings pretty well when I got banned.
