[Feedback] Blacklist is better, but not good enough.

[voidlorn]

I’m just confused about your perception of safety

Let’s ignore the plugin directly for the moment

Are you saying you are willing to give your account data to the client of your stalker in exchange for the (unmodded) client to not have you show up on their client?

Because I’m trying to explain that your suggestions aren’t bad, they just simply won’t actually achieve anything while sensitive data is being sent to the stalkers client, it’s the definition of out of sight out of mind.

If you are willing to make that trade do you think others are willing to make that trade? For example I’d sacrifice all your suggestions to get my account data off my stalkers client.

This has to be the first, second third and last thing, is pressuring square to actually fix this gaping hole in account security. After they have fixed that then we can discuss making the blacklist more broadly useful in functionality because I don’t know any other way to say your suggestions are useless without it, because if someone wants to stalk you then editing the current blacklist design won’t help when it’s built on this gaping flaw

I'm saying that, assuming Square FIXES the vulnerabilities that this stupid plugin exploits, I want a blacklist feature where they are not able to see my characters or my chat messages. That's it! This isn't complicated.

Even if they don't fix it immediately, I would rather have the functionality in place sooner than later, because I don't care if they have my account information because they, ideally, won't be able to do anything with it. I just want these people to have to put in some work to be able to see my character/messages if they want it THAT badly, and in the process of doing so, have to break the TOS/rules, thus putting themselves in a position where they can be reported and blocked.

ETA: Once again, the changes might not stop them from doing so illegally, but again: Just because things are exploitable doesn't mean they shouldn't be implemented to make it harder for people to harass others.
