> but there was no process for reporting the fraudsters
what would be good incentives to make companies like blizzard start reporting fraudsters?
I am thinking along the line: companies can pay $X to make a report, and will receive $X5 if that reports leads to a fine. And they have to pay additional $X10 if that reports turns out to be frivolous. (If the report appears to be valid, but doesn't result in a fine, than they get no payoff).
My worry is that bad incentives would lead to over-reporting or some other bad thing.
