Right. Faloop as a simple tool for tracking and relays is fine. It's why I'll still mention Faloop to new hunters in addition to linkshells, Centurio and any other data center specific hunt resource. It's some of the rules applied to those using the tool that are a problem for me. As much as those rules should be common sense, not everyone agrees with them. They want to hunt on their own terms within what the game allows instead of being forced to conform to rules set by a community organized outside of the game. The game allows them that and it should be respected.

Faloop isn't doing anything forbidden by just blacklisting people from their community based on behaviour in the game. And the harassment is no different than the type linkshell users could engage in direction of those who are not involved, or are not involved and show no respect or courtesy. Faloop is no different from a giant linkshell that actually works well, because SE refuses to give ones big enough to be worth it with the current state of the game.
Being blacklisted from Faloop use isn't what I'm referring to. It's the active witchhunting and harassment that Faloop users engage in because others aren't following Faloop's rules.

If Faloop would promote more tolerance for alternate play styles, it would be far less of a problem. Instead, Faloop has decided to "take actions towards eliminating such behaviour" (that is the exact language in their guidelines). That only encourages their members to engage in the witchhunting and harassment.
