The action taken in that instance is because of a noticed pattern of reported chat behavior. Depending on how much they banter back and forth it wouldn't surprise me if the healer also had collected a good number of reports as well.

    As frustrating as that situation can be, you do need to take into account that other people often cannot tell the difference between a random person being rude to another and friends joking with each other in an online space.
    Gonna be real with you, I was paraphrasing most of that since I read it years ago. He could've been replying to an email about the strike or something. My main point was when he tried to communicate with the team about it, they slapped him with "it doesn't matter that no real harm occurred, what matters is someone was offended enough on behalf of somebody else to report you in the first place." This is the crux of the issue. And when it comes to usernames, it leaves the door wide open for anyone to get butthurt about something wholly unrelated and then just report a person's name to get back at them or something. It's baffling to me how the whole system's ripe for abuse, while simultaneously useless where it's actually needed.

    I see your point, however that is the same flaw of any report led enforcement. I always encourage people to file a report if someone did something bothersome, because without reports it is a near certainty that nothing will be done at all. It's also not likely that the reporter will get any notification that their report did something in the first place. You just send it and hope for the best. It's not a perfect system by any means, but it does serve a purpose and in this case as well as your hypothetical I would agree that it worked as intended.

    There isn't much that can be done by SE to stop that from an administrative pov. IPs change, so an IP block won't work. MAC filtering also wouldn't work, as that changes with each hop in a route.
    They need to either make changes to housing to allow block lists to function, which stormy hates because venues, or make it so trial accounts can't access even more, like search info and housing districts at all.
    Resolving the stalking issue requires a rework of many systems for this game. At present it doesn't seem like SE wants to do that, but hopefully if people keep making noise about it we may some day see change.
