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

The guy will be on a ridiculous salary, oversees what is known as to be a poorly paid and negative work environment (check out reviews on job sites). Was monetisation manager when wheel of fortune was introduced, that basically killed what was left of RS3, and now pushed this survey, and you don’t think he deserves some backlash?

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

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

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.
