It depends on a number of issues.
1st. Did you report it via email to abuse at bridgebase dot com.
That is the most effective way to report bad behavior, as long as you answer the autoreply that is generated (the autoreply is so that busy abuse doesn't have to wade through 1000's of junk email).
2nd. Did you report it to a yellow online. This is somewhat less effective in the sense that the yellow has to report it to abuse for you. They do this at a high rate, but surely you understand that if you send the message yourself you know for sure it was sent. When I get a complaint, i will almost always speak to the person who was reported, and if I find them feeling sorry that they did it, I sometimes not send an official report in.
3rd.. Did you call a yellow online to witness it. A couple things here, yellows of course can not see private chat sent to you. So if you were cursed at in private, the best solution is to take a screen shot of the message and email that to abuse. If the person was at your table cursing you in public and then left, when a yellow show up at your table HE or SHE can not see what was said before he got there. But if they get there in time to SEE the bad action, then they can take immediate action up to and including banning someone from the website for a limited time. This ban requires a report to abuse by the yellow issuing the ban.
4th Prior history. The action abuse takes on reports vary from nothing (usually case has no evidence, or both persons responsible I think), to gentle waring, severe warning, short suspension, long ban, permanent ban.
In all of these cases, however, you will not get a report back on what action (if any) was taken by the yellow or by abuse. That is a long-time BBO position.
