About the reputation. I report a lot of people who say bad things, but I can't get up to a Very Good..

You only get good brilliant rep if you report over 1000 players.

My daughter is 8 she is addicted to wild craft and I spend a lot of money on it for one reason....it has helped her read n write. Today she came out crying as she got a 24 hy ban for being disrespectful!!
She is just learning to read n write as she has a trauma background. She loves talking away to her friends... Perhaps if you were to email and have an explanation explained it could be A. The child can't read or write or understand words. Things in text come out in the wrong context. Or someone just likes reporting people for silly!

So basically 500 reports equals a rep change for good or for bad, depending on whether or not your report was approved

No it's Not 500 reports, and nobody would have brilliant rep if it was 1k reports to get brilliant rep, it's actually 5-15 reports for very good rep, and around 30 reports for brilliant rep, don't listen to those who say that it's 500 for very good rep or 1k for brilliant rep, those are complete lies.
