Showing a list of people spectating would only provide a list of potential "suspects" when placing a report. Proving if it's happening would be something completely different. As a player, we can't prove anything and have no ability to do anything about it. It, basically, could provide a list you could report to PGI and let them sort it out. (Of course, this is presuming that PGI doesn't already maintain a list of spectators as part of the match results on their end...)
I would like to mention, I'm not here saying if it is, or is not, happening. I'm merely acknowledging that this does seem to be a possibility, and the best counter defense to it would be to place some kind of delay on the spectators to prevent this from actually even being able to be done (if possible).
I've seen low skill players report me game after game on their streams for hacking/expoiting etc etc. Of course I've not had ANY penalty in that area because it is not true.
Also as a player you can absolutely prove things and do something about it. I've proven/reported many win traders because I actually know what I'm looking at and I know they've been given just deserves.
Most players mashing the report button do so simply because they were DUNKED on, hard. So they false report because they believe things were unfair because they have absolutely no idea. That's just the fact of the matter.
Hell friends of mine have been spam/report abused by other units/groups for no reason than they got dunked on, hard. Said friends have ended up with incorrect suspensions (albeit temporary/short). Even I've been victim to it, and had it consequentially overturned. But the fact you have to go through this process because of some upset Mechdad that can't handle being dunked on is utterly absurd.
There are already enough fake/false reports on a daily basis in this game/community from in-game play, sooking on the forums because you're proven to be a liar etc etc.. The game/community/top players does not need yet anothre avenue for more of that cry-baby behaviour.
If you suspect cheating - Submit a Match ID to PGI and let them look into it. The end.
