Being reported by disgruntled player

My friends and I were recently playing a pvp match against some other players. When we won the match, one of the other players reported me then ported away before I could get their name. I received a warning from wizard 101 for inappropriate language. I was not using inappropriate language. The other player was probably mad that they lost. How can I resolve this issue or how can I keep other players from reporting because they are mad. I am not playing pvp matches anymore because of this incident.

This happened to my husband and I just the other day. We were not pvp'ing and was in a battle in DS. We were not cursing, being rude or anything. In fact we were helping another player who was getting their derriere stomped into the ground. Some other player walked up and stood in the middle and started talking smack to this other character. I then proceeded to make a comment exactly "Now children please play nicely". I and my husband both were then reported. This did upset me at first, so I went and read the policy on being reported and found out that we had nothing to worry about because all reports get logged along with the chat log. I also read that those who make false reports can get into trouble for making false reports. This made me feel much better.

My suggestion is, if you did nothing to be reported for, do not worry. Just change servers and go on enjoying the game. Eventually, the person doing the false reports will reap the consequences.

The incident will be reviewed by Mr. Lincoln and his staff...if you did nothing, just relax...you won't be the one in trouble.

The same thing sort of happened to me. I was in mooshu in a fight with some of the ninjas when this guy reported me for being racist. I admit i did a few things that i should have been reported for but he intially reported me for being racist. I was not being racist i was just giving my opinion on the taste of some food. He asked "do you like cheese?" and i said "Yeah, who doesnt?" i was getting ready to say "well besides people who cant eat it" when all of a sudden he reported me for saying that. i did get a warning but i dont see how i was being racist by saying i liked cheese.
