I'm sniping those two spots so you can see your own contradiction.

There wouldn't be a problem if people weren't asshats. Admins aren't always on, people ruin other people's fun, thereby we have ban threads. But, this isn't limited to ban trolling and in game trolling of players for that. Strat section itself is a raging beast of it. I use the ban thread's as the example because it's fairly obvious in most instances and easily seen. Strat, on the other hand, is a select few(those who get muted, generally) and they lay into the insults harshly.

Note that I said "sound like snitching". I didn't say everyone who is making a ban request is snitching. The line is flowing, and often enough you must prevent yourself of just looking down to something and calling it snitching. At least for me, for various reasons. It just happens easily to declare something as snitching.

I just went through the topics you made, and there are even topics where you reported people who forced you to press M by QML'ing you. This is where I'd say that "keeping the servers clean" turns to snitching. If somebody is actively griefing it is perfectly okay to get him banned. But I don't know why you had to make a topic, just to expect somebody to say "Oh you!" to Ganner with a raised finger. With those posts the entire ban request forum is held up to ridicule, and the really important and worthy ban threads disappear between the whining ones.

And never forget that most people know about people who have the tendency to report a lot, and thus know exactly who is a rewarding target for trolling. (No, trolls won't be deterred by the knowledge of being reported, rather the opposite).
Joker makes a very good point.

if you get bothered  by things people say on an internet forum you can add them to your block list or just stop reading the boards... just sayin

Couldn't the same be said of newspapers, television, bulletin boards etc, etc?  Words have power and effect.  Why should terms meant to degrade people be tolerated in any setting?  Either you are against hate inspiring speech or you are part of the problem.
