Handling Cheaters Gracefully vs Hardline ToS + Questionable legality of bans

[StealthPaladin]

In reference to class action suits; 10.7 No Class Action Matters...

Indeed this is part of the ToS -- and I appreciate your genuine response -- however as I keep explaining, courts trump ToS. ToS are not 100% legally binding contracts. Right now courts would throw out such class action. Drastically increase ban enforcement, that can easily change. Case law since 2018 has been aggressively changing in that direction

Separately, to various detractors continually accusing me of some misdeed and derailing useful conversation: No. SE feel free to check if I am making any kind of mods. I will give you access to bank records and business returns if you want. I am making no mods of any kind.

I am however deeply involved in software that
1. Has a paid front end client product
2. Sells a subscription to service run on a server
3. Subscription gives access to to digital assets which ARE NOT OWNED by the user
4. Also has a ToS trying to cover our butts
5. Is increasingly liable to protect the value proposition we present and are vulnerable to class actions if we do not meet certain behaviors

Because of how this service is structured, even though FFXIV is a game and not involved in real estate data, I know very well that courts do not act in line with the wishful thinking presented. ToS are limited in scope when you have this configuration of paid frontend client product and subscription service accessing digital assets. Whether it makes sense to any of us or not, all it takes is one judge that says OK I will allow it despite those terms. That is happening more and more frequently specifically to services that match this description.

I'm sure SE is already well aware that ToS have wishy-washy standing and are not perfect solutions to avoid such action. That is obvious by the fact that they take such reasonable stances on enforcement. However that balance is presently threatened. The logistic nightmare that could spiral out of this situation is something I care about when I try to put myself in the developers shoes. Giving them my two cents is because, in my mind, they could be in a pinch. Now they can take 0% or 1% or 100% of what I offer, but it is free brainstorming for their benefit.

So chill and help think of solutions if you have time. If you think I'm wrong just say you think I'm wrong fine. Great. What do you think should be done in response to recent cheating? Nothing? Should people always have to wonder where the line is drawn on addons? Why should Discord be safe, it conveys a huge competitive advantage? Feel free to put your feedback on the issues; but if you only have snark for me I'm not responding further than referencing this post.
