Not telling the user is also problematic. If your false positive rate isnt 0% you are seriously messing with some people. The same issue exist with shadowbanning, you can make an argument to shadowban trolls who dont follow the rules of a given environment on purpose, but shadowbanning a random user is just really ugly. Wasting someones lifetime like that for no reason is just wrong.

In my case, it matched them with me for verification. Not the most pleasant job in the world :D But yeah, you shouldn't just do it at random - it must be justified.
