Typing {g1} in chat will make people's clients output the names of their party members. {g1} through {g8}, for raid groups. If you're not in a group then it just shows [].

So, you can have a lot of fun trolling people:
/me has reported {g1} for abuse of game mechanics.
/2 Placing a 30k bounty on {g1}, dead or alive

Very funny, you get a ton of PMs.

Someone just told me I could get a three day ban for using {g1} in chat?

You can get a 3 day ban for spam* (has to be a second or third ban), not for using {gX} in a chat channel.
