I heard this conspiracy (or may be true) that if a user has issue with other user or if a user wants another user to be penalized then they target the user and reports their posts as many as they can.

that's not against the law, therefore it's not possible that it's a conspiracy

A conspiracy is all this is.

it's not illegal, it cannot therefore be a conspiracy

As far as the conspiracy theory goes, it's certainly possible that someone could be reporting a lot of your posts out of spite.

a theory that people are targeting users with malicious post reports is not a conspiracy, because abusing internet forums like that is not illegal, and therefore not possible to conspire about

I gave you 5 merits for trying to introduce some humour into the forum.

Please note - this award is not part of a conspiracy.

giving people merits to manipulate an internet message board (or making a joke about doing that) is not illegal, and therefore cannot be part of a conspiracy

furthermore, if you commit a crime on your own, without planning it with others, it is also not a conspiracy, that is referred to instead as pre-meditated merit-milking (which is still not yet illegal)

Conspirator will always find a topic for them to stay busy :-D

a conspirator is the perpetrator of the planning of a crime not someone who accuses others of engaging in a conspiracy.

I am literally begging you all, please learn what the word "conspiracy" really means

While I absolutely share your disgust with the total disregard for the meaning of the word conspiracy, and in a legal context you are 100% correct, but the word does in fact have meanings outside of the strictly legal terminology.
