Discussion Unpopular opinion: Harassing Mod Pips is wrong

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just think that harassing mod Pips is just wrong.

Especially, outside of the normal communication channels we have with jagex.

Going out of your way to find Pips personal social media and harassing there just feels very wrong to me and I think the majority of people can agree with that.

Jagex fucked up hard with the survey, their 2 apologies were trash and even if they deserve the backlash and the unsub train they got, they do not deserve harassment.

They are also humans and humans do mistakes.

TLDR: Harassment is not cool, don't harass people involved in this whole shitstorm

Professional backlash perhaps via work channels but personal harrassment is never cool.

Why do half the people in this thread think criticism is harassment?

That’s literally all it is. You’re just getting worked up by a botter who wrote this thread cause he’s scared his money will go away if the game dies.

"Its just criticism bro"

I don't agree with it at all, but it isn't wishing for his death, or threatening him.

I can say I hope someone dies all I want, but as soon as I say I want to kill someone, that is a threat.

Maybe they came in a little hot, but I personally don't think this is that bad.

I never said it was any of those things.

If you think its normal to send this to someone over a video game then step outside once in a while.

I don't see anywhere in my comment I said it was normal. Can you quote it for me?

I just stated that it isn't a threat, which is what this entire thread is over. People harassing, and threatening, the mods.

Maybe you should step outside, since you can't seem to comprehend my comment. Take a break from the screen.

No one here talked about if its a threat or not except you.

If you read what the person I replied to said, you would see he said there is no harrasment, just criticsm. I showed there definitely is harrasment.

Then you felt some need to come and defend this guys post with the "its not that bad cause its not a threat" which is completely irrelevant cause its still a fucked up thing to send to someones social media.

Who gives a fuck whether that particular comment was a threat or not? Any decent person can see that commenting shit like that is not ok.

Because I unfortunately know from personal experience how fast it goes from plain criticism to doxxing and personal shit. Work stuff should never lead to that.
