Why not a warning?

I don't agree with this takeaway on things like ACT. I'll not fight on UI mods currently (though I think banning someone for using a feature you plan to implement is wrong in a different way). I think that SE specifically made statements alluding to it being basically ok to use as long as you don't harass people. Especially when ACT has been on streams, vods, youtube, for years now with basically no enforcement. Also keep in mind my point that 99% of players would disable things with a simple warning. So what is gained by banning instead? And yes, even warning other large players would get the word around just as well.

i agree with you on this. but i guarantee those being suspended atm are not just using ACT, there are other thing they are looking for specifically. But yoshi p has said before that using DPS meters just amount to eventual toxicity that he doesnt want. Even Desperius has brought up that using ACT in his streams is a risk and he is always careful, but will still continue to use it until he is either banned for it specifically or sent to jailed and warned for it. i Digress tho, we will see alot of negetive feedback more so then positive on the situation as a whole until we receive another post on the lodestone.

Yeah it just seems like going one step off nuclear for no real reason other than to be heavy handed to prove a point? But that point would be proved just as well with warnings. Also the statements in the past are very celarly "just dont harass and we wont do anything." And its been the precedent observed for years. People got banned for harassing based off dps, stopped harassing but kept ACT up, and yet here we are today ACT is enough to get you banned now with no prior warnings on your account.
