As you all know, the game is infested with cheaters and it is our duty to report players whenever we see suspicious play. However, the definition of "suspicious play" has been distorted to an extent where innocent players are also getting penalized for no reason.
Yesterday i saw a streamer (maxed out level) who got killed by a bronze player (last kill, got chicken dinner) and instantly reported him, without checking any death cam or stats. After getting killed he just said "wow a bronze level player getting chicken dinner. Definitely cheating", and then he reported, not once but twice. He did not even check how many bots there were in that match (I checked using pubglookup.com, and found there were 72 bots).
Now, I also have not checked that guy's stats, maybe he really was cheating, but the point is that this streamer did not even check and just reported as an impulse.
It is my humble request to you to please see the death cam of the kill before reporting, spectate the played if possible and check their PUBG stats (https://pubglookup.com/) before reporting.
For those who do not know, steam version of PUBG is not a standalone game. There was a PUBG PC LITE (non-steam) version (which has been discontinued now) with same maps and same game basically with a smaller size and less demanding on PC. PUBG Mobile I think can be played using emulator and it is not against the rules AFAIK (correct me if it is). So, please do not underestimate a new player. He might be new in the steam version of PUBG, but he might not be new to the game.
Please do not be salty when you get killed, think rationally before reporting. Your reports lead to unfair false temp-bans which ruins the experience. And yes, I have also faced temp-ban twice and it is very annoying.
Now some might say "oh i have played the game for 2000 years and haven't gotten temp-banned even once". Well just because you haven't faced it, it doesn't mean a lot of people have also not faced false temp-bans, just look up online (I can link a few instances too). Cheaters have no reason to come online and act confused when they get banned after cheating. They simply create a new account and continue cheating.
In my opinion, a person who is false-reporting is just as bad as a cheater.
