The complaint that at least started this thread is the toxic behavior of individuals from the discord. SE's badly designed content didn't force them to behave the way they did. Be annoyed, be frustrated, even convey that much to the 'sniper' - sure. But there's a line that shouldn't be crossed. Throwing all the responsibility for people's behavior on SE's design is.... a bit much.
Yea, I get that, and I don't know if I just have thicker skin than most, but I don't really think telling someone "you sniped a portal" or "we're not going to heal you because you sniped us" qualifies as harassment or anything. It isn't nice of course, but the situation itself isn't a nice one. If they were calling the person stupid or trying to insult them in other ways, yea, that's uncalled for. But pointing out to the person that they screwed up a run that people were planning for probably over an hour or so is completely reasonable in my opinion.
