If you don't like being target for violating TOS...how about don't violate the TOS?

Point is SE is well within their rights to punish them for such. Point still remains breaking rules for whatever reason noble or otherwise is still breaking the rules.

I just do not get why the intent matters.

should we ban everyone who floats anything in housing then?

It is not a question if should. Point is if SE wants to ban people for such a thing they can. A broken rule is a broken rule and comes with inherent risks. Why is that so hard for people to understand? Sure certain rules are dumb but nevertheless, one should not be shocked if they get introuble for breaking an agreement which is the ToS. We can whine and cry about how it is unfair but let us be real it is clearly written in said ToS.

As I said point is SE is well within their rights to ban people for such things. You can disagree with the rules but rules are rules.

The question of "can" should never outright preclude the question of "should".

It is a faceless company, can really is the only thing that matters. Should they do such things, I do not think so. Point I am making is that they can and well within their rights to do so.

Sure it is a dumb rule but let us be real most feedback ia not how x rule is dumb it is more so crying how SE should not punish people for breaking said dumb rule.

OK, thanks for that startling revelation. Really contributed to the discussion.

If it was obvious why are people getting upset about being punished for breaking rules? Or better yet why get upset towards the ones doing the reporting.

I'm not here to educate you, and in all likelihood you are not here to be educated either. Maybe you should try actually reading the threads on the issue and take what people say into context, because it's really not rocket science.

Then we should all be banned for relying on Windows, a 3rd party platform, to play this game.
