If the affected player does not report the violation, then they most likely did not feel negatively impacted by it or dismissed it for some other reason. A stream viewer not participating in the interaction is not affected at all.
Violations that are not dependent on interactions (exploits, cheats, etc.), however, should be reportable regardless of whether it is by a player who witnessed it in-game or a stream viewer.
Couldn't agree more. If two players are satisfied with the encounter, RP or engagement, regardless if rules were broken or not, nobody else should get involved in it. It's as if I logged an Outcast snub and dueled with another Outcast snub in Omega-48 and one of us got slapped over it because some idiot that wasn't involved saw us and decided to file a report.
Player mutual agreement > rules, always.
Personally speaking, this is my preferred approach as well.
I must say that is how must be done, i mean, not always you wanna to "drop RP lines" when you know what is the real intention about it ... if you are corsair and seeing an Outcast, even by just by it, probably there would be a fight, not always, still, if the "Affected" user don't report (ha, even me, should be able to get a lot of reports because of that) then i don't see why it has much of harassment if you already knows the obvious, and even if a new user, don't like to be reported, fined and deemed without anything less than nothing just for an error, but i belive that if a side put evidence it can be used by both sides not mattering what can be the cause)

The enemy could be really bad at RP or Loring or something, but can be a decent fighting or dumb one ... just let have fun ... but of course, some RP specially for "Experienced players" are really better up ... or you will say to me you did RP when doing a mission against the enemies?
