Learn your history lesson: Witch Hunts DO cause innocents to be banned

It's kind of amazing how a thread that's talking about witch-hunting, stalking, harassment, brigading etc... has people posting comments in it who'd be better served by having their internet access severed.

Like, even if you "broke ToS" absolutely no one deserves this kind of shit. There is no justification for it, and it shouldn't be a thing that happens as often as it does.

At least 1/4th of the community. At best.

I come to the forums to remind myself that going outside and hitting up my local library is preferable to some of the hot takes of people that I'm glad aren't in a position of power or influence on their own.

What are you taking about?? It's a game. SE removed someone's access to their game because they were caught breaking the rules. Rules that they agreed to follow before they were allowed to start playing it. It's not hardddddd.

I swear people are acting like this is a human rights issue lol

Yes because witchhunting and doxxing other players is the civil approach to get anything done.

TL;DR: People are assholes, hide your mod usage, the end.

Wait are you literally encouraging people to cheat but hide it, rather than not cheat at all?

I would agree that doxxing is a pretty shitty thing to do, not to mention illegal, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in this person's story which may or may not be telling the whole truth.

Hold the doxxers accountable if there was any, not SE.

Not all mods/addons are cheats, a damage meter just gives you the data you need to improve your rotation.

Ofc addons etc. that allow players to basically cheat their way through the game should be never allowed, in my opinion.

You do know that one of the main cheat programs is CB, and that runs through ACT specifically, right? Aren't you contradicting yourself here?

How do you tell people ACT is ok but CB that runs through ACT is not? How do you seperate these things?

I'm dying to know.

In Japan the culture of doxing seems to be pretty set in stone, where they pick a target online and bash the hell out of them until the target commits suicide or leaves the community. People are extremely stressed up in their society and are always looking for a prey in 5ch to use as a punching bag while keeping themselves anonymous, and this time, Dingo was their prey.

You know how a Witch hunt works right? What's involved?
