Why not a warning?

Then it's "We will ban you but in a year we will add feature you used into a game, have fun" type of situation. You seem didnt even read what i wrote about Yoshi P and also about GMs, you basically defend people who abuse report system and lie in reports.

Casuals that are not even getting harrased by anyone abuse mass reports and pretend victims of .... UI mod?

But if it's against the rules, it's still against the rules. Mass reporting anyone is not inherently wrong if it is justified. You can't just mass report anyone for anything and get them banned.

If I shout in town and say "The sky is green ya'll" and everyone mass reported me for saying that, do you think I would get sent to in-game jail for that? No I would not, and the odds are the people reporting in THAT situation would get in trouble for frivolous report abuse.

In this case, a user is caught in 4k using UI/Mod enhancements (according to the GM) during a highly stream event. If there is no legitimate case, GMs will do nothing. But if someone is reported, EVEN 1 REPORT is looked into and is found factual, then yes SE will act.

That's not hard to understand.

I don't blame them at all when SE turns around and decides to add the very thing they banned the person for. If it's a banable offence then why are you adding it to the game?

Do you know what they are planning to add into the game? Because I have not seen any official comment on what particular modification they have reviewed and WOULD be adding.

It does not matter. If it's against the ToS today, you can get banned for it.

People have weird interpretations of what the ToS is and takes like this are straight bogus.
