To be honest, I'm not sure why they haven't done just that, even with the incident I posted above. Maybe they see it as too much work due to the fact it could create an influx of bogus harassment reports even if someone politely criticizes their DPS based on the parser. SE would look really bad if they issued perma-bans to people who weren't being trollish with their advice. I get the impression that the community at large has a difficult time taking criticism even when it's kindly worded.
