Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

Taken from that same discord:

I'm sure you have witnessed the conversations.

And?

What abuse is being shown here? No offense, but this actually adds credence to people who claim you're being too sensitive. The person is simply saying if SE bans mods, people who are jerks will still be jerks. And she isn't wrong. Look at parsers. More often than not, it's the... lesser skilled players complaining about low DPS and berating everyone.

I don't know, I think I am handling myself pretty well the way I keep being disrespected and attacked and called "insensitive" on this thread. The bottom line is, I called the mod community out on the forums and they are not happy about it. And they are free to not be happy about it, but I don't deserve the treatment I am getting. I have already blocked and reported 3 different people in-game for trying to have a "chat" with me about why I am wrong for making this thread.

One guy even insisted and demanded that I delete all my forum posts and apologize to the entire community for trying to take away their mods.

Correction, some random people in a discord of hudreds are mad. Please stop generalizing everyone because of a few asshats. They shouldn't be contacting you directly, though if it's a civil discourse I see no harm in hearing them out. Regardless, you're garnering attention based on presenting a strong opposition to something which negatively impacts other people. You would undoubtedly get a similarly negative response demanding SE do something about FFlogs and parsers.

You have also, once again, demonstrated how inconsequential this whole "issue" is. You blacklisted three people who bothered you, thus they cannot contact you again. Why does SE did to do anything when the tools to stop harassment already exist and you just used them? Keep in mind, Blacklisting words the same way mods do in the sense those people can still chat, you simply aren't able to see it anymore.

Here is the most recent thing I have gotten in-game. I logged off after this as I grew tired of the onslaught.

And that can be reported as harassment(especially since it could be argued they are modding based on the way they worded it), just report anyone who does say stuff like that, and the GMs will look into it - likely quicker if you don't engage in an argument with them.

Now I don't support that kind of behavior but if you simply asked for their twitter handle the GMs might've actually done something about that as they'd be promoting harassment & advertising content that's breaking the Terms of Service.

That is a bit much. I wouldn’t blame you for reporting that even if it wasn’t meant to be mean, which if it was after this forum post I’m sure it was. But those that don’t hurt anyone and just keep it to themselves shouldn’t be called out. A few asshats is not the whole community.

Report the idiot. GMs will step in over /tell harassment. Why should the whole mod community be dragged down by someone's a jerk? This is the issue people have. Not a single post here has said you deserve to be harassed, quite the contrary. We're just failing to see why modders should be punished for the actions of one or two idiots.

That's just the risk you run when engaging in activities not officially allowed. Fly under the radar, or have the whole thing crash and burn because some few took it too far and got too much attention.

To echo an earlier post, that's just the way it is.
