Bringing ToS violations to SE's attention forces them to act on them, because those same rules that prohibit UI overlays also prohibit botting, hacking, and add ons that give an unfair advantage such as automated callouts and markers, etc. and if they don't act on all reports, they can't justifiably act on any of them.

So... stop bringing attention to them.

Seriously, this whole debate, the multiple threads, namedropping streamers, the countless petulant, snarky jibes comparing innocuous Discord to literal games hacks, or accusing SE of being worse than the Nazis. Stop it.
You're acting as if you can stuff the cat back in the bag. Sorry but that's now the system operates. Attention has been drawn. The discussion is here. Suddenly crying "Shh!" isn't going to suddenly change the facts. Take a moment and calm down. It's worth the discussion to weigh in on what we do with the extremes in this situation.

Calm people draw better distinctions in all situations. Regardless there are a lot of streamers who are far more prominent and they're likely not to duck and cover, even against recommendation. I expect a good number of people are going to wind up with suspensions and take a much needed break from FFXIV, before coming back to lots of people welcoming them. That too, is a reality for many.
