Yea, I've been accused of boxing before because I had a friend log my alt in and afk him in a group with my main (both have similar names).. or because a friend was using my wizard to port for $$ while I was raiding on my main. Basically if you have two characters with similar names and they're on at the same time, people automatically assume the worst.
Unless you have more than mere suspicion - I would avoid wasting the GMs time personally.

There's abit of grey area on that

Example - friend logging on your toon and afking him in group for you to exp. Technically not boxing but will certainly look like it.
And then there's people boxing from multiple IP addresses.
It IS hard to enforce the no boxing rule, and then there's certain things like what loke is doing, which if questioned over it at the time would have come across as very suspicious (ie. someone sending him a tell and then the alt who is similarly named and the simarly named character is afk, albeit being played by a separate person who is afk)
And now my head hurts... but yeah, it is hard for gm's to enforce it, and i imagine the only people who do get banned are the ones the gm's are sure about.
