Some folks have PMs turned off on their end, so you might not be able to get a hold of them in that way. In those cases you just have to hope that they see the incident as accidental and not report you. And if they do report you, that the administration cites it as a racing incident.

I report quite a few people a week, but I tend to holster that report if the person 1) gives the position back immediately or shortly there after, 2) apologizes in chat or via PM, 3) reviewing the replay I figure it was not them being vicious or ignorant and just an honest mistake that they probably didn't think was their fault (even if it was). Sometimes I'll PM someone I'm about to report to see if they have anything to say regarding the incident and if they apologize or offer some plausible excuse for the issue I'll let it go as well.

But if I think you screwed up, the replay looks like you screwed up (and didn't care), and you have PMs turned off so there's no way I can ask about it... I'm probably going to file that report.

So what I'm saying is: turn on your PMs, folks.
