They don't just shove every name that's been alerted in the past six months into the list, they do whatever level of research the report requires before deciding if it warranted an a ban or not. Anybody's guess what that might entail, could be flipping a coin from the way some of these go.
It shouldn't matter. In terms of a constant and fair policing system, they should be handing out bans within hours or at the very least, a few days of the instance. The banning of hundreds of characters instantaneously, together is by far an idiotic and lazy move.
Police don't wait until the 3rd passing of Jupiter in the 4th month all over the world to capture criminals, they do it as soon as they have evidence that leads them there. Banning is a form of discipline, not something that is -arbitrarily- done to supplement some form of misplaced justice. If their ToS was broken in some way, shape or form, then they should act as soon as act-able information comes their way. Whether it be finding a hacker by accident, or having screens and video submitted of the action happening.
I myself admin a website with others that has a game on it, and we have to deal with people who try to make multiple accounts or hack the database. Not so much anymore, but there is always someone who wants to test the rules. None of the staff or myself, would tolerate such an action, and understand that punishment is meant to send a message while the act is still fresh in their mind. Banning them from the game 5 months after they made multiple accounts does nothing and is a waste of time. Anyone can see this.
TL;DR message: If you're going to have a justice system, don't just half-arse it.
