It's not consistent moderation, it's not clear moderation and it does impact the community of the game to where, if, someone genuinely wants to receive critique/advice a lot of people will only provide it over a third party platform just due to the chance of there being a risk at all.

And while, sure, providing advice to someone who didn't ask is considered rude within this community, at the same time making a suggestion in order to increase the efficacy of a party has always been a component to MMO sociability. And someone bluntly offering advice isn't really, to me at all, something that should get someone a permanent strike. Maybe a "remember, you can blacklist people you don't like" statement and then left alone.

But just because I haven't personally been affected by something like this, doesn't mean it doesn't happen and doesn't mean it hasn't impacted player to player interactions.
"allegedly"

the fact they have a screenshot for that is a bit suspicious, no?
